IDE Bootcamp organized by Innovation Cell of Ministry of Education concludes at Galgotias University
The two-day IDE Bootcamp organized by the Innovation Cell of the Ministry of Education concluded at Galgotias University.
Chief Guest Dr. Anita Gupta started her speech by explaining in detail about innovation and said that all of you principals and teachers have come here. All of you together have to provide a new direction to today’s new generation with a better thinking in the coming time. So that all those children of today can play their important role in building a bright future of the nation. Expressing her concern over the environment, she said that the weather patterns are getting worsened day by day. Global warming is increasing, due to which the glaciers will continue to melt and in the future a great crisis will arise for the existence of all mankind and for the whole nature. We have to take small steps from today itself to protect it. Such as tree plantation, ban on the use of plastic, use of electric vehicles will have to be given more attention. To save the earth, we must take these very important and small steps. Recently, 194 countries have started working together on this. We have to work with full honesty and sincerity to solve its problems. Only then will we be able to realize Hon’ble Prime Minister’s dream of “Developed-India” by 2047 and India will once again be called the Golden Bird. Moreover; once again you will be able to become a world guru. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Galgotias University for organizing this event successfully.
