Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked IIT graduates to choose challenge over comfort and urged them to start working now for the kind of India they want in the next 25 years, saying a lot of time has already been wasted.

He urged the students to avoid shortcuts in life and strive to face challenges and overcome them with efficient solutions. Addressing the 54th convocation ceremony of IIT, Kanpur, he said, “Once you step outside the college, a lot of people will come to you with shortcuts to success. But when asked to choose between comfort and challenge, I will advise you all to go for the latter. The one who faces challenges and overcomes them with efficient solutions is the one who scales the greatest heights.”

The PM also asked students not to turn into robots and neglect human intelligence. “While we all must explore artificial intelligence, we must not neglect human intelligence,” he added. The PM also launched the blockchain-based digital degrees which can be verified globally and are unforgeable. — TNS
