Hyderabad:Don’t be complacent. Strive hard. Be innovative said Chandrababu Naidu, while addressing the students at the IMT Hyderabad’s 5th Convocation held here in city at its Campus in Shamshabad near Rajiv Gandhi Airport.
Naidu was the Chief Guest at the Convocation. You are more educated than me in management. But, I am more practical in execution than you. Complacency doesn’t work. People in Dubai are complacent. They are happy with what they have, Naidu told 1000 plus gathering of students, parents and invited guests.
India is the best place for work in future. US, China and India are going to be economic super powers of the world. India will be number one economy very soon. You need to be innovative to come up in your life. In 1994-95 I have imagined that Knowledge Economy would be future and I saw that in Information Technology and gave it a priority. Rest is the history, he said.
Speaking further he added that he has no grievances about bifurcation. It gave me to start a fresh. Every crisis is an opportunity. I have created Hyderabad. Now we got an opportunity to build Amaravathi, which is a rare opportunity. We will make it number one 1 among the top five cities in the world.
Adding further he stressed upon Indian values. People in western world have mechanical relationships. In China they are permitted to have only one child. Old aged parents live separately and feel lonely. India is the only country which has stronger family bonding. Happiness comes only with the family he said. And he told the graduating students to protect values.
