Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Addresses Inaugural Session Of INAE At IIT Delhi

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the inaugural session of the Indian National Academy of Engineering’s Annual Convention at IIT Delhi on Tuesday. During his address, he urged scientists and engineers to gain command over high-end technologies, such as AI and Quantum Computing.

He also asked to gain command over these high-end technologies to strengthen India’s position in the field of advanced, frontier, and cutting-edge innovation.

Rajnath Singh Emphasised On Niche Technologies

The Defence Minister also emphasised that these niche technologies are going to impact almost every sector in a big way in the upcoming times. He said, “Right now, we are in the initial phase. Our aim should be to first gain command over these technologies so that in the future, they can be used for the welfare of the people to fulfil their immediate basic needs”.

Further, he highlighted that the world is continuously evolving, and the defence sector cannot remain untouched by this change. He also stated that previously India was behind in terms of weapons and technology. However, ever since the Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, came to power, the country has moved towards self-reliance in defence at an unprecedented pace.

“Modern warfare is changing rapidly, therefore there is a need to adopt high-end technology. Towards this, we have brought out schemes like Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) and Technology Development Fund (TDF) to bring out the talent of the youth, through which their as well as the nation’s dreams can come true”, added Rajnath Singh.

Rajnath Singh Lauds Role Of IITs

The Defence Minister also lauded the role of IITs in the scientific development of the country in collaboration with DRDO. He called for establishing an even better organic relationship among the industry, research, and development organisations and academia. “In developed countries, academic campuses play an important role in progressing frontier technologies”, he added.
