VIJAYAWADA Students should dare to dream big, think independently and pursue ambitious goals to drive innovation and contribute to the vision of a self-reliant India, said Prof. Ramesh Srikonda, Director of the School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada. Addressing the Freshers’ Day celebrations at Dr.

RVR NRI Institute of Technology (Deemed to be University), he emphasised that bold aspirations lead to new ideas and innovative outcomes. He urged students to focus on holistic development rather than limiting their ambitions to obtaining academic degrees. The celebrations, organised to welcome newly admitted first-year students, witnessed the participation of over 2,000 students, who showcased their talents through colourful singing and dancing performances.

Prof. M.L.N. Rao, Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT-AP), said emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Quantum Technologies would drive major transformations over the next five to 10 years.
