26:26and it is as far as yourself is
26:27concerned those who are graduating from

26:35moment in your life.
26:39I take this opportunity to congratulate
26:43all the graduating students from the
26:46international school of photonics,
26:48school of environmental science and
26:51department of electronics and inter
26:53university center for nano devices.
26:56I also take this opportunity to
26:59particularly appreciating the parents of
27:02the students those who are graduating
27:04from today. Because of the support of
27:06the parents only you could have to
27:08achieve this remarkable achievement in
27:11your life because you all of you
27:13received the continuous support from
27:15your parents throughout your life till
27:18this particular day. And also I take
27:20this opportunity to appreciate the
27:24faculties of these three departments.
27:27Those who have paid a lot of attention
27:29for molding your character, imparting
27:32valuable knowledge for you and imparting
27:35the specialized skills as well as the
27:40values of our society and our university
27:43and our nation. Of course you know
27:48because this is some of the turning
27:49point with respect to your uh life is
27:52concerned
27:54and some of you spend here nearly five
27:57years valuable five years in this
27:59university that means some of the
28:01students those who joined here under the
28:04five-year integrated program and uh and
28:07some some of the students I think mostly
28:09from the department of electronics they
28:11spent their nearly two years at our
28:14university. So you have a lot of
28:17experiences
28:19even anyway that will be with a good
28:22memories for your ever life but you are
28:26going this is a turning point in your
28:29life. You are entering into another
28:32world
28:34and you can approach the world with a in
28:37different perspectives and different
28:39views.
28:40But of course you should have to keep it
28:42in mind that
28:44it is better to be always positive
28:49and better to be optimistic.
28:53As mentioned by the professor Kailasnad
28:57there are a lot of challenges are there
28:59in our living world. It s it's in a real
29:02world whatever it may be in our society
29:04in our family or maybe in our uh
29:07wherever we are going for our work and
29:11even for in wherever we are going there
29:14are challenges will be there.
29:16It is very easy to travel through a red
29:20carpet or maybe we can easily swim
29:25through a
29:27calm and quiet water.
29:29You can easily sim with the flow of the
29:33stream. But if you want to sim against
29:36the flow of the
29:38stream or if you want to
29:42make some changes, if you want to see
29:47across the troubled water,
29:50of course you need a because there are a
29:53lot of hardship you have to face. The
29:55life is not a simple answer to nobody
29:59can give an answer a simple answer for
30:01the life and it's a um ups and downs and
30:06happiness and all those things will be
30:08there in as happiness and sadness all
30:11it's mixed with all the things in your
30:13life it is the uh it is the life of the
30:17every people.
30:20So then we should have to think about
30:23and uh in what way we have to approach
30:26this hardship and what way we will see
30:29the world.
30:32So if you see the human history also
30:36they faced in each stage also if you see
30:38the history of the human being the
30:40development of the human beings from the
30:42neon neondaral to homo sapiens they
30:46faced a lot of problems even if you see
30:49the history some uh very long back. So
30:53whenever we are living in an environment
30:55and ecosystem wherever we are living we
30:57will have to face hardship and uh there
31:00are problems will be there but we have
31:03to uh approach that problems very
31:07positively
31:09and we have to be
31:11optimistic about the good things will
31:14happen and for you have to work for that
31:18rather than be pessimistic
31:21and uh I Hope all of you got a such a
31:25good training from Kin University of
31:27Science and Technology to approach our
31:29society and I hope all of you could have
31:32to pay a pivotal role for the building
31:34of our nation and you could have to
31:36contribute for the development of our
31:38society and the overall development and
31:41well-being of the human beings of our
31:43society.
31:45So you could have to work in a very
31:48positive way. I wish all the success in
31:51your future journey
31:55and best wishes to all of you. Once
31:59again I congratulating all of you on
32:03this happiest moment. Best wishes. Thank

34:04members of the syndicate and the senate,
34:07faculty members, distinguished guests,
34:10proud parents and dear graduating
34:14students.
34:15Good morning to all of you. Uh it gives
34:18me great pleasure that um I'm here when
34:21you're going to start on a new phase in
34:25your life. Something completely
34:28different from what you have experienced
34:29so far. You're graduating. You are
34:31moving on
34:34into real life.
34:37Congratulations all of you because you
34:38have you have proven something. You have
34:41finished one major phase of your life.
34:43You're moving on to something
34:44significant where you'll be independent.
34:46You'll uh probably no longer have the
34:50comfort
34:51of mentors of so many people around you
34:54taking care of you. Now you'll be
34:56independent from them. So it's a
34:59different but maybe slightly difficult
35:02phase of life as well which you're going
35:04to face.
35:06And times are changing.
35:09You know that um probably this is the
35:13most um most disruptive or maybe most um
35:18difficult phases in human history when
35:22future is quite unpredictable.
35:24[clears throat]
35:26Of course technology progress all these
35:28things have happened over centuries but
35:31there was always some idea where we are
35:33headed to. you knew what's going to
35:37happen next at least in the you know
35:40near future. Now we are facing a unique
35:42scenario where um the very sciences
35:46which you have studied right now here
35:49those are going to contribute
35:51significantly in changing human life
35:54coupled with artificial intelligence and
35:57um you know other other things that are
36:00happening in parallel.
36:03It's the you have got the international
36:04school of photonics here
36:08and then
36:09you know what photonics stands for
36:13you have the international school of
36:14photonics and then just the school of
36:16enolment studies it's not international
36:18I don't know why
36:21then you left the school then you have
36:23just the department department of
36:25electronics
36:27three different terminologies
36:30but uh you know these three are in some
36:33way kind of connected I would say
36:35because um the purpose is same you have
36:38got science research convergence and
36:41cutting edge change uh that's being
36:44brought about in industry because these
36:47three are contributing significantly
36:49photonics obviously people don't really
36:51see you what you contribute much because
36:53that's all somewhere else it's in the
36:55background uh
36:59in fact all three but uh you So you know
37:04now the point is not just studying a few
37:08you know scientific fact subjects and
37:10then blurting out in a new in answer
37:13sheet and then moving on in life. You
37:14don't get jobs even in that sense. Uh
37:17getting employed is completely different
37:19from getting a graduation degree
37:23and continuing to be employed is also a
37:26challenge. Now getting a job itself
37:29doesn't suffice. You don't know when
37:30you'll be kicked out.
37:32Some of the courses which we study could
37:36be a three year, four year, five year
37:37course. You join a course and by the
37:40time you pass out of that course, you
37:42don't know whether that course is
37:43relevant. That's a pace at which things
37:46are changing in this world.
37:48I always say you know that there was
37:50this not a story it's a real incident of
37:52my friend in um 2019 just before co he
37:58went to China
38:00uh
38:02the time he came back co also came to
38:04India but I don't think he brought in co
38:07but he and his friends actually were
38:09there in China at that time so he
38:12narrated his experience when he came
38:14back
38:16they went to a technology park something
38:19very similar to Infosys I mean this info
38:22park or technop park I keep telling this
38:26story everywhere because the the impact
38:30that had you know when he narrated this
38:32to me in 2019 I really don't think
38:36people really get the story even now
38:39okay he went there into the park there
38:41was a car which took him around there
38:43was a particular building where he had
38:44to go inside that huge campus was
38:49the car that came to pick him didn't
38:51have a drive autonomous vehicle.
38:54It's very common now in other countries,
38:57not yet in India. But you know it is
38:59possible technologically it's possible.
39:01So this guy his friends they hopped into
39:04this car.
39:05The car drove them to the particular
39:08building in the campus where they got
39:10down. They got into the building. There
39:12was nobody to receive them. There was no
39:15watchmen. There's no security, nobody to
39:17usher them in. But there's one Chinese
39:20guy who was taking them around.
39:23So they went up to the particular
39:25office. They had the meeting. After the
39:27meeting, they went to the food court on
39:30top of the building. And in the food
39:32court, again, it was a buffet. There was
39:34nobody serving food. So they go and take
39:37food from,
39:39you know, each container. And the last
39:42counter there is the cash counter.
39:44Again, there's no cashier sitting there.
39:48They're just smiling and going along.
39:49So, it seems that, you know, everything
39:51is free, but nothing is free. In fact,
39:54um there was camera cameras that were
39:56set right above the, you know, food
39:58counters. So, whatever food you are
40:00taking, how much you are taking, what
40:02you are taking, everything is being
40:04captured through the cameras and the AI
40:06is telling, okay, let us bill him this
40:08much. So the exact amount is build to
40:12the Chinese guy who was accompanying
40:14them. And how did he pay? He was just
40:16smiling his face recognition. So from
40:17his account the money is going.
40:21But the experience was seamless.
40:24The moment they landed into the campus
40:27till they got out. The experience was so
40:29seamless
40:31and perfect. too perfect
40:34and scary
40:36because just imagine how many jobs were
40:38lost.
40:40Of course, the car driver
40:43he lost his job. There was nobody to
40:46receive uh so the receptionist is not
40:49there. The security guy is not there.
40:51There is no lift operator. There is
40:53nobody to serve food.
40:56There is nobody to take care of cash.
41:00So so many jobs disappeared
41:03in a in a such a populous country like
41:05China. They they are going ahead with
41:07these kind of things. They're not
41:09worried about job losses. They're just
41:12going ahead with AI and whatever
41:15technology is providing them.
41:18Now these are these are direct job
41:19losses. There are so many jobs which
41:21have disappeared in this process.
41:25For for example, you know these cars
41:29cars have accidents obviously. How do
41:32accidents happen? Accidents occur
41:34because you don't know what the other
41:36driver is about to do. When you take a
41:39turning, you don't know whether some
41:41other vehicle is coming from the other
41:42side. Then there is human error. So all
41:45these things contribute towards
41:47accidents and accident is one major
41:50input
41:52for the insurance business.
41:56My car is able to communicate with the
41:58other car and I know the precise speed,
42:02angle, you know the path the other
42:05vehicle is going to take. I can very
42:07easily avoid accidents and that is how
42:10technology works.
42:12This autonomous vehicles do communicate
42:14between themselves. every every uh car
42:17that is manufactured nowadays it has an
42:20inbuilt uh you know GPS system and all
42:23that just like our SIM card all these
42:26cars have their own SIM cards nowadays I
42:28I don't think many know that so that's
42:30how it communicates there's a satellite
42:32system that tracks every literally every
42:34vehicle now if the vehicles communicate
42:38and you know you know in advance
42:41tell each other what I'm going to do the
42:44confusion the complication, the
42:46misunderstanding, the accident all these
42:48comes down and which means the insurance
42:50premium goes down uh accidents come down
42:54and the insurance verifier the who the
42:56guy who goes and checks he loses. So the
42:59point is that um direct indirect there's
43:02n number of jobs that are going to
43:04disappear.
43:05So it sounds very scary but at the same
43:07time
43:09um it's also an opportunity.
43:12This is a standard
43:14you know dialogue which we have been
43:16hearing for a long time. But again um
43:19there's no nothing else to say. This is
43:20the reality and there's no other choice
43:22as well.
43:25when um new technologies were introduced
43:28at some point of time in history
43:31whatever be it like say steam engine or
43:34the television or whatever
43:37there were lots of naysayers people who
43:40said that this is going to bring in
43:41disaster
43:43but we survived all that that's true but
43:45right now there is a slight difficulty
43:48because
43:50your thinking capacity your processing
43:52power itself is being kind of outsourced
43:57Mankind's
44:00brain is being outsourced in a way like
44:03this is this is now part of my brain. I
44:06carry this mobile and half my memory is
44:09actually inside this. Not half probably
44:11more than that.
44:15I don't memorize numbers.
44:18I don't memorize most things nowadays
44:21because I know this is there. So it
44:22works like a you know RAM and ROM system
44:25for a computer. You you don't carry the
44:28entire information on the you know hard
44:31disk that's processing it for your
44:33efficiency for better processing. You
44:35store away the memory right you don't
44:37you don't make use of it every now and
44:39then.
44:41So the challenge really is whether you
44:43have the capacity to use smartphones.
44:45You have the capacity to use these tools
44:48to remain
44:51in contention.
44:53When you didn't have these tools, your
44:56IQ, if you had an IQ of 100 and above,
44:59you were considered to be smart. You're
45:02good enough to maneuver the world and
45:05get success.
45:07But now if you try to compute your
45:11intelligence with all the tools
45:12available with you, I guess it will be
45:15more than 300 400 something maybe
45:17because the capacity that you get with
45:19all these tools is much higher
45:23and that's why there was a news I'm sure
45:27you must have read that as well uh in
45:30Madras IIT one of these professors his
45:34test or his um examinations ations where
45:37not lab situations but real situations
45:40where he would allow the students to
45:43make use of any tool it's not just open
45:46book system but open technology you make
45:48use of chat GPT or cloud or whatever and
45:53then give me the answers because the
45:55questions which you would be facing in
45:57real life have to be answered with real
45:59life tools
46:02imagining that you are going to solve
46:04everything using your own brain is
46:07actually a fake kind of combat
46:11preparedness. If you're going to prepare
46:13for a real combat, you have to have real
46:15experience, right? So that's what this
46:17this professor was trying to do. So
46:19precisely the same thing is happening
46:21even now here. Uh if you deny
46:24technology, you'll live in some other
46:27capsule, a time capsule, and you'll be
46:29shocked when you come out of it. You'll
46:30be really shocked.
46:33Let me ask something. Ask you guys. Um,
46:37which is the fastest animal
46:40on earth? Fastest animal on earth?
46:43Cheetah, right? Cheetah. Anything other
46:46than cheetah?
46:51Any bird?
46:56Falcon.
46:58Okay. on on ground it's cheetah right
47:02agree
47:03>> yes
47:04>> but no it's actually not cheetah it's a
47:06man man can go in a train it can go man
47:09can go on a flight in a rocket much much
47:12faster than cheetah it's just that we
47:15know how to make use of the tools
47:18cheetah is by nature the fastest animal
47:22of course on on earth but then we have
47:25overtaken cheetah long
47:28The eagle is supposed to have very good
47:30eyes. It will it will catch hold of
47:32something kilometers up above in the sky
47:35and still catch hold of a small little
47:37prey on the ground. So it's eyesight is
47:39supposed to be far better than ours. But
47:42you know we have mastered better you
47:45know telescope technology to you know
47:48watch things that are even in outer
47:49space. So who has a better eyesight?
47:52Actually it's mankind. So basically we
47:55have been using tools one after the
47:57other to overcome
48:00and compete and succeed in this world
48:04and now the latest tool of course is AI
48:07which has make which has kind of made
48:10our you know brain power infinite
48:14literally infinite skills which you till
48:17now didn't have you suddenly become a
48:19superman you are able to do all sort of
48:21things you you are able to write poems,
48:24you are able to sing songs, you you can
48:27give music, you can compute things that
48:31never never ever you could have earlier
48:34thought of doing.
48:35So a few years back when I used to give
48:38a talk somewhere I used to say uh you
48:41know literally everything is going to be
48:42taken over by AI the human element the
48:45human part what's going to remain is art
48:48culture and all that stuff but you know
48:51I'm shocked nowadays that uh now AI is
48:54taking over art and culture first
48:57music poem these are the things that AI
49:00is being used to you know deliver
49:03results first now more than research
49:05search. So nowhere, nobody I mean
49:09there's no one who is absolutely safe
49:12and secure from this so-called threat of
49:14AI.
49:16And why this is different from other
49:18technologies is that you see other
49:20technologies were always under us. It
49:22those were just tools which we could
49:24control and we could manage. But um with
49:27with this AI thing coming in your
49:30processing part itself is going out and
49:32how it's being processed so long as it
49:34is a tool under us it's still okay but
49:36now when it becomes autonomous if it
49:38starts uh it need not actually start
49:41thinking on its own it can actually
49:43start influencing us
49:46controlling us managing us without us
49:49coming to know of it
49:52literally without coming to know of it
49:53because recently I read um a news where
49:57I think it was KPMG or some other very
50:00reputed consultancy who had prepared um
50:04report on AI
50:07and it was prepared using AI
50:10and AI hallucinated in it
50:14which overstated the good effects of AI
50:16in it and we believed it.
50:20So AI is actually telling us that AI is
50:22very good and we took that as a you know
50:25report on KPMG and we read that and we
50:27trusted it and we started thinking what
50:29AI wanted us to think. Now this is
50:32actually scary and we had different
50:34verticles of you know AI focused AI
50:38narrow AI an AI that could create song
50:43an AI that could um do calculation an AI
50:46that could
50:48paint create visual representation
50:51videos whatever. Now the the the
50:56challenge or threat or whatever which we
50:58are facing is the integration of all
50:59this. If there is a single entity that's
51:02able to do all this and we try to mimic
51:06a human being, we proudly believe that
51:09creating a humanoid would be a great
51:11achievement and all that. But that's in
51:14a way scary. Why? Because I I'm sure you
51:18you would also agree to this point that
51:21if there is an entity other than human
51:23beings
51:25who is in charge of the thinking or or
51:28the intellectual part the intelligent
51:31part who is controlling the things on
51:34this earth on this planet who is
51:38autonomous from us
51:40whom we cannot predict whom we cannot
51:42really understand.
51:44It means that you are gone. You are
51:46done. Your game is over.
51:51And that is actually going to happen
51:52because see uh earlier we could not
51:55human beings could not be defeated by
51:58technology when you play chess. But that
52:02was long back.
52:04Long back. Now you cannot beat a
52:06computer playing chess. The computer
52:09knows better chess. There are AI um
52:13initially AI used to lose when you play
52:16chess not the computer program but the
52:18AI tools which were being generated it
52:22could not succeed against grand masters
52:24but now AI is also able to do that. Now
52:27what does that actually mean? It
52:28actually means that when I make a move
52:32on the chess board,
52:35I do a calculation what my opponent is
52:38going to do, his move, I should be able
52:40to, you know, double guess. That's how
52:44you win chess. You, you know, at least
52:475, 10, 15, 16, 17 moves ahead of the
52:50opponent. That's how you win.
52:52Now we have reached a stage that you
52:54cannot predict the move of the AI
52:58opponent.
53:00If you cannot predict the move of the
53:02opponent, it means it is autonomous.
53:05It's able to outsmart you.
53:08Imagine a humanoid which is completely
53:11capable of outsmarting you and taking
53:13its own decisions.
53:17It's okay so long as it is behaving well
53:21with us. It doesn't have a problem with
53:24us.
53:26If you have a scenario where
53:30it stands against you
53:32or it is
53:34ethically not aligned with what we think
53:37is right, it could be a problem. Of
53:42course we have had human beings also who
53:44have taken you know gross ethically
53:47wrong positions. You have had Hitler,
53:50you have had Muslini, you had so many
53:52dictators who would kill people.
53:55Ruthless dictators
53:58but all of them were mortals. So there
54:03was a guarantee that at some point of
54:05time this chap will die
54:09with these new uh emerging AI humanoid
54:13tools which could also theoretically go
54:17along these lines.
54:20Imagine a AI Hitler
54:22whom you cannot switch off. That is the
54:25real challenge. Now why I'm I you know
54:29you know scaring you with all this.
54:31Basically the point I'm trying to drive
54:33home is that
54:36a world that is going to be controlled
54:39run by uh technology and you guys are
54:43going to contribute in that because
54:45except for maybe environmental science
54:48who have some role in you know catching
54:50hold of the rains and stopping this kind
54:52of uh you know progress but otherwise
54:54rest rest is actually going to really
54:57contribute to this kind of a world
55:02where we don't know where we are headed.
55:04That's why I said this is a generation
55:06for the first time where you're going to
55:08step into a world that is completely
55:10unpredictable.
55:11There are so many theories that say that
55:13by 2045 you could have the AI completely
55:16taking over and still we even then we
55:18may not know probably it's already taken
55:21over and we still don't know.
55:24This is not just theory these are actual
55:26real
55:28you know facts.
55:30Now we have this job losses happening
55:33right now right in front of us in Kochi
55:34itself we have had a major company
55:37firing so many people overnight this is
55:41going to become a routine
55:45so what do you do the the summon summary
55:48is that
55:50we have to keep adapting ourselves
55:54we can't compete in
55:56a kind of you know um run along with AI
56:00hoping that we can defeat AI.
56:04The fastest animal
56:07is not cheetah because we stopped racing
56:10with cheetah.
56:13We had horses. We did not run along
56:16horses.
56:17We chose to ride the horses.
56:21Then you move faster than horses as
56:22well, you know.
56:25Similarly, you you you don't need to try
56:27to compete with AI. You have to ride the
56:29AI. You have to get on the saddle and
56:33make use of the tools, whatever
56:35technology is available to you and try
56:38to survive. It's a survival game that's
56:41going to happen.
56:44Our generation was very lucky in that
56:46sense. The technologies that we
56:47experienced,
56:49the innovations that happened in our uh
56:52generation mostly made life easy for us.
56:57This is one technology that's going to
56:58make life life a bit difficult for you,
57:02challenging for you and totally
57:04disruptive.
57:06In Keralam, we don't discuss this.
57:10We have other things to discuss. Our
57:13generally our media, our you know
57:14mainstream discussions, discourse is all
57:16on something else. But this is the harsh
57:20reality that's going to hit us like a
57:22tsunami. One fine day it hits us and
57:24then we don't know where we are headed.
57:26So we have to be prepared.
57:30Don't don't be happy with one skill set.
57:35Please don't be happy with one skill
57:36set.
57:39That was a century old strategy in in UK
57:43and in England in the last century. For
57:46instance, if you if you were a good
57:48cobbler,
57:49your life is set. If you knew how to um
57:54you know tailor a good coat,
57:57your life is one. Not just you, your
58:00next generation is also taken care of.
58:03A good shoe maker,
58:05a good tailor,
58:07a good painter, these were more than
58:10enough. If you knew how to make a very
58:12good shoe, your next generation is also
58:16continuing in the same profession and
58:17you are still okay. There's nothing to
58:19worry. But now
58:22leave alone you know generations even in
58:25one generation in one life you cannot
58:27survive with one skill. You may know one
58:30particular skill. you studied something
58:32and suddenly you'll find that it's taken
58:34over by something else
58:36it could get finished as well that
58:39whatever product I don't know whether
58:41you heard of something called pager
58:45we were lucky to see a pager as well
58:46there's something called pager in which
58:48messages would come it's like SMS
58:53an equipment tool just to receive SMS
58:58I'm told it's still popular in Japan for
59:01whatever reason, some strange reason,
59:02but otherwise this
59:05equipment completely become redundant
59:08the moment a usual mobile phone started
59:11providing the facility of providing a
59:14SMS.
59:15Now this usual mobile phone this GSM
59:19phone which we are using nowadays this
59:22is also very soon going to be extent
59:25because technologically we have far
59:27surpassed that we don't need uh this GSM
59:31bandwidth for communication right now we
59:33have this voice over internet protocol
59:35which is more than enough I think most
59:36of us nowadays do calls on WhatsApp or
59:39some other tool because clarity is
59:42better there we we the calls don't get
59:45dropped and all that. Still we continue
59:47with the old thing only because we want
59:49to we want to ensure that the jobs are
59:53not lost in the technology in the
59:55telecom sector because all the telecom
59:57companies have invested heavily in
1:00:00procuring these licenses. So just to
1:00:02safeguard them and their uh you know
1:00:05employees we are still continuing with
1:00:07the with this age-old technology.
1:00:11It's only a matter of time. Some point
1:00:13of time that will also change. So change
1:00:16is inevitable. You just have to be
1:00:18prepared to uh mount the next best horse
1:00:22whichever is available to you. Move on
1:00:24from one skill to another skill. Don't
1:00:27be a cobbler or a tailor or a you know
1:00:29whatever throughout your life. You will
1:00:32have to keep shifting in between. So the
1:00:34biggest biggest talent that you require
1:00:38is not what is taught in your college in
1:00:41your university.
1:00:44Nothing that has been taught to you so
1:00:46far is going to save you. What will help
1:00:48you is adaptability.
1:00:52Adaptability to shift from one thing to
1:00:55another and accepting reality.
1:00:59Acceptance is very important
1:01:02nowadays. The Gen Z, Gen Alpha, you
1:01:05know, generation, they have a serious
1:01:07problem with
1:01:09tolerance, accepting things. You know,
1:01:12failure is also something which you need
1:01:13to accept. With the kind of world that
1:01:16you're going to, you know, see, witness,
1:01:19be part of, you're going to fail very
1:01:22often. You'll not see a world when you
1:01:24will always be succeeding and, you know,
1:01:26flying high and no, you'll have lots of
1:01:29issues. You'll hit roadblocks many
1:01:32times. You'll have to take turns. You'll
1:01:34have to uh change decisions. You might
1:01:36have to go through a lot of disruptive
1:01:39things in the coming few decades and
1:01:42after that maybe some sort of uh you
1:01:44know settlement would happen. But the
1:01:46skill which you really need would be
1:01:50emotional quotient because to go through
1:01:53these kind of you know challenges you
1:01:55need to be totally totally calm composed
1:02:00and not upset with the scenario that's
1:02:02going to hit you one fine day and
1:02:05adaptability comes from that.
1:02:07Adaptability always starts with
1:02:09acceptance. If you face a scenario where
1:02:13your job is gone or whatever you
1:02:15studied, it's actually very shocking
1:02:16very very think of think of a scenario
1:02:18where you studied a course,
1:02:21you spend three, four, five years into
1:02:24it and suddenly you are told that you
1:02:25are not required that skill is not
1:02:27required at all.
1:02:30His life or her life just imagine you
1:02:33you should think in their perspective
1:02:34only then you will understand how
1:02:36difficult or how shocking it could be.
1:02:39Now these are all things which could
1:02:41happen in your life as well
1:02:45on a graduation day when you guys are
1:02:47all so happy
1:02:49to deliver such a sad or a pessimistic
1:02:53uh story before you. It's my duty.
1:02:57If I don't tell you this uh I I'll be
1:03:00doing a disservice. So kindly take this
1:03:03positively
1:03:05and please drive home the single point
1:03:08that you need
1:03:11adaptability
1:03:13and for adaptability the biggest two
1:03:15things which you need in this AI world
1:03:18is actually power of comprehension.
1:03:21Power of comprehension and emotional
1:03:24quotient. power of comprehension because
1:03:28ultimately it all boils down to
1:03:30prompting or giving instructions
1:03:32whatever
1:03:34that requires comprehension power. You
1:03:37need to understand what you have to tell
1:03:39him and this requires comprehension
1:03:41power. Even today um know there are few
1:03:44exams which focus a lot on
1:03:47comprehension.
1:03:48comprehension you know don't
1:03:50underestimate a comprehension test which
1:03:52is given to you in class classes when
1:03:54it's not just English uh understanding
1:03:56it's about intellectual you know
1:03:58connecting the points connecting the
1:04:00dots and deriving um you know uh
1:04:02conclusion from it only then you can
1:04:04give the nest next instruction so
1:04:07comprehension is one key point train the
1:04:10kids train yourself keep updating on
1:04:12comprehension power
1:04:15second is emotional quotient power
1:04:17because without that you will not be
1:04:18able to maneuver the emotional, you
1:04:21know, maze through which you'll be taken
1:04:24through.
1:04:26On that note, I'll I I'll see
1:04:30there is a way out. There's definitely a
1:04:31way out. It's not a pessimistic or, you
1:04:34know, doomsday kind of a thing. There's
1:04:35a positive lots of positive things to be
1:04:37done. Especially since you guys are in
1:04:39science, you will really appreciate the
1:04:41kind of progress that's going to happen.
1:04:44the cutting edge technology discoveries.
1:04:47For example, the other day one of my
1:04:49friends who is in um uh vaccine
1:04:51research, he was telling me the vaccine
1:04:53research cycle which used to take more
1:04:55than 10 15 years, they're gradually
1:04:58closing down. Now it's you know the kind
1:05:01of trials which you needed to you know
1:05:03confirm a particular vaccine or a
1:05:05medicine it's coming down from 15 to now
1:05:08five
1:05:10because which are the roots or you know
1:05:13lots of compounds which they try to find
1:05:15out. So uh there are maybe 100
1:05:17possibilities of these which are the you
1:05:20know routes through which research
1:05:22should go which are the paths through
1:05:25which you get better result this can be
1:05:28predicted and suggested and advised by
1:05:30AI tools. So that's how uh the time in
1:05:33this kind of research is coming down. So
1:05:36the good things are also going to
1:05:38happen. You are going to be part of
1:05:39that. That's also something you can look
1:05:41forward to. But uh don't forget to you
1:05:45know remember that you need the
1:05:47comprehension power and the EQ side and
1:05:51EQ side is more important because that's
1:05:53seated in the frontal lobe which makes
1:05:56you a human being no matter what AI
1:05:58comes that being human is most important
1:06:02and what defines being human it's it's
1:06:04it's it's a when did we become civilized
1:06:07that that's a fundamental question there
1:06:09is there is a theory that human beings
1:06:12became became civilized
1:06:14at some point of time in history when we
1:06:18discovered um the skeletal remains of a
1:06:21old you know old woman. Okay, this old
1:06:25woman her skeletal remains were
1:06:27excavated and they discovered that her
1:06:30femur the thigh bone was fractured.
1:06:34Thigh bone was fractured but it got
1:06:36joined later on. Now what does that
1:06:39mean?
1:06:41Have you ever seen a a deer or a
1:06:44elephant or a giraffe walking around
1:06:47with crutches or a bandage or anything?
1:06:50Have you seen a disabled animal
1:06:53in the forest? We don't see that. There
1:06:56is this pseudocience kind of a theory
1:06:59which says see they are all so healthy
1:07:01because they're eating natural food and
1:07:03all that. So they're so happy in the
1:07:05forest. So there's no disability
1:07:07nothing. You see human beings people are
1:07:09born blind. People are blind born with
1:07:12issues. It's not that. It's just that
1:07:14the disabled are consumed. They are just
1:07:16eaten up. They don't survive. Human
1:07:20beings were also like this at some point
1:07:22of time in history. If you were injured,
1:07:25you were left
1:07:27the you were just a prey. But at some
1:07:30point of time in history,
1:07:32we learned
1:07:34that our brethren should be taken care
1:07:37of. So that's when uh a woman whose
1:07:41femur was fractured was taken care of.
1:07:46She was nurtured. She was brought back
1:07:47to life. That's why you got a skeletal
1:07:51remain of a woman with a fused. It was
1:07:54healed. It was a healed femur. You know
1:07:56that if you those who have aged parents
1:07:59and all you know if you have a femur
1:08:01injury it's very difficult to come back
1:08:03to life if you're very old uh your
1:08:06movement is completely gone with a
1:08:08broken thigh you can't move around.
1:08:12So when you get senior we always advise
1:08:16don't fall in a bathroom. If the femur
1:08:19gets broken you it's very difficult to
1:08:20come back to normal life if you are old.
1:08:23So you had in history a woman whose
1:08:26femur was broken much earlier. It got
1:08:29fused which means she was taken care of
1:08:31by other human beings. And people say
1:08:33that is the point when human beings
1:08:37became civilized because we learned to
1:08:40take care of others who are with us.
1:08:42That is the human element which we
1:08:44should be able to propagate. That is
1:08:48what's going to help us survive. When
1:08:50technology hits us like a tsunami.
1:08:52It's we human beings who are going to
1:08:54help each other. It's we who will be
1:08:57helping the survival. It's like a alien
1:09:00invasion in this Hollywood movies when
1:09:02human being the human strength comes
1:09:04together and we make survival happen. We
1:09:07save the world. We save the world.
1:09:08Right? That's a usual ending for all
1:09:10Hollywood movies. But that is a reality.
1:09:14So how human beings can work together
1:09:16that's by empathy. That's by compassion.
1:09:18Unless you feel the pain of another
1:09:20person, you cannot uh you cannot be a
1:09:23human being. And it's natural for us.
1:09:25Our frontal lobe has something called
1:09:27the mirror neurons. So these mirror
1:09:29neurons help us feel the pain of another
1:09:32person. If you if you see someone with a
1:09:34a finger, a prick here and a slight bit
1:09:39of blood, the moment you see that, you
1:09:42get a bit of pain here. You feel for
1:09:44that. It's you know it's not your hand
1:09:46but you get that pain. That is the level
1:09:48of empathy and compassion that is
1:09:50inbuilt into us. That's our frontal
1:09:52lobe. Why did God Almighty put the
1:09:55mirror neurons into us to feel the
1:09:57compassion of the other person? And when
1:09:59we do something to alleviate the pain of
1:10:02the other person, what happens in our
1:10:04body? That's also very interesting. Our
1:10:06body starts producing endorphins
1:10:09for the pain of other person. another
1:10:11person when we are trying to elevate the
1:10:13pain.
1:10:16This is the ultimate proof that we have
1:10:19been designed in such a way to exhibit
1:10:21compassion to help each other. Now we
1:10:24have to maintain that core essence to
1:10:27distinguish ourselves from the humanoids
1:10:29that are going to hit us.
1:10:32So kindly try to inculcate
1:10:37compassion in your life. That's the last
1:10:40thing that's going to save you. Nothing
1:10:42else is going to help you. This is the
1:10:44last straw.
1:10:46Be compassionate.
1:10:48Of course, have scientific uh temper. Do
1:10:51research. Do understand what's happening
1:10:54around you and enjoy and have a fruitful
1:10:57good life. This life is just one one
1:11:00life. Make most of it. Don't get bogged
1:11:03down with just career and all that.
1:11:06uh you have been sent to earth this
1:11:10planet to enjoy and experience
1:11:12everything here. Be a well-rounded
1:11:15personality. You can be around as well.
1:11:17You can be wellrounded. Still survive.
1:11:20Be happy. Don't get into this judgmental
1:11:22thing. I think nowadays most most people
1:11:24are worried about validation, what other
1:11:27people think and all that. Just leave
1:11:28that and enjoy your life. Have a
1:11:31fruitful life. and and now you're going
1:11:33to go out into the big bad world there.
1:11:37Be a baddie there also. But please take
1:11:40care of yourself, your parents, people
1:11:42who have helped you around so far. Uh
1:11:44your teachers, those everyone who has
1:11:47mentored be have that sense of gratitude
1:11:49and all that. These are the usual uh you
1:11:52know advice which I can give you nothing
1:11:54more than that and I know that I'm
1:11:55nobody to give such long advices but I
1:11:58really wish from
1:12:01you know my deepest uh you know heart
1:12:04that uh you know you you all have a
1:12:06fruitful life and be happy that is being
1:12:11that is the most important thing you
1:12:12should be pursuing more than career
1:12:15ambition all those things try to find
1:12:17happiness in yourself and people around
1:12:20you. Thank you so much.
1:12:30>> Thank you, sir, for your words of
1:12:31wisdom. It was so connected to the real
1:12:34life scenarios and challenges we'll be

1:38:43The journey of education is filled with
1:38:45memories, challenges and moments of joy.
1:38:48Let us now hear from our graduating
1:38:50students as they share their
1:38:51experiences. I invite Dr. Dr. Safna Sai
1:38:55from International School of Photonics
1:38:57to share her reflections as a
1:38:59representative of the doctoral
1:39:00graduates.
1:39:13Good afternoon to all. I'm Safna. I'm a
1:39:16PhD graduate from International School
1:39:18of Autonomics. First of all,
1:39:20congratulations to all the graduates
1:39:22standing here. I feel proud, honored,
1:39:26privileged and humbled having completed
1:39:29the doctoral journey successfully. My
1:39:31defense was on 2nd of July last year.
1:39:35Grateful to the almighty for this jo
1:39:37journey. Firstly, I'd like to mention
1:39:40the marvel of our lush green campus. I
1:39:43was always taken away by the greenery
1:39:45and always enjoyed breathing the morning
1:39:47fresh air and the night strolls
1:39:49throughout campus.
1:39:51It actually had a special soothing
1:39:53power. Coming to my doctoral journey, my
1:39:56work was on three-dimensional photonic
1:39:58crystals for manipulating light. These
1:40:02are structures actually periodic
1:40:04structures that impart beautiful shining
1:40:07colors, iridesence that we see on many
1:40:10things around us. for examples u the
1:40:13skin of butterflies uh the feather of uh
1:40:15yeah the feather of butterflies then the
1:40:18shells of some beetles then some stones
1:40:21and all at this moment I remember a very
1:40:25important person in my life all these
1:40:26years none else but my guide Dr. Priyos
1:40:30I will forever be grateful for having a
1:40:33mentor like her. She was more like an
1:40:36elder sister for me. I joined for PhD
1:40:39with a six-month-old. Leaving my baby
1:40:41with my parents and coming for research
1:40:44was not that easy for me.
1:40:46Adding to that in few months I got
1:40:48conceived again and on most days I'd be
1:40:51so tired that I might be lying down on
1:40:54my table suffering from morning sickness
1:40:56and all. How do you pictureize a PhD
1:40:59supervisor? I don't know. But mine, she
1:41:02comes near me, gently pats me and
1:41:05inquire if I was good. At those times,
1:41:07all I needed was that. Thank you, ma'am.
1:41:11Now I must talk about our department,
1:41:14International School of Autonomics, ISP.
1:41:16ISP was always welcoming. On behalf of
1:41:20all the graduates of ISP, I extend a
1:41:22heartfelt thanks to all our legends of
1:41:25ISP. Be it the director directors, other
1:41:28professors or the non-eing staff all
1:41:32were really kind and cooperative. They
1:41:34all mentored and supported us immensely
1:41:36at different points of our PhD journey.
1:41:39This might be the same response from our
1:41:41MSE and MTech graduates as well. Also,
1:41:45we had wonderful supportive seniors as
1:41:48well as juniors. There is, you know, a
1:41:51powerful team spirit for ISBNs. Now a
1:41:55little bit about my work. Actually the
1:41:57major findings of my work always happen
1:41:59during the night working hours and I
1:42:01must thank my husband and kids for
1:42:03letting me work till 11:00 p.m. some
1:42:06days. During the final year I used to
1:42:09come by 6:30 in the morning for writing
1:42:11my thesis and preparing the
1:42:12presentations. I must say morning hours
1:42:15at ISP was also so serene so productive.
1:42:19I must also fondly recall my time at
1:42:22Atulia hostel. I was for some for
1:42:25initial period I was a day scholar and
1:42:27then a hostler and again a day scholar.
1:42:29So I must recall my time at Atulia
1:42:31hostel our PhD sanctuary.
1:42:34It was truly a therapeutic haven from
1:42:36the capacious rooms with ample storage
1:42:39to the clean washrooms the expansive
1:42:41mesh hall and the quiet study spaces.
1:42:44I don't know if the Wi-Fi is still
1:42:46great, but I must say every memory made
1:42:49across this cusat campus will be deeply
1:42:52cherished. From the bottom of my heart,
1:42:54I extend my deep thanks to all ISPs, all
1:42:57CUSATs, all teachers, my family members,
1:43:01extended family, my friends, and on
1:43:04behalf of all the graduates, all who
1:43:06supported us. Thank you.
1:43:13>> Thank you Dr. Safna for sharing your
1:43:14memorable journey with us. I now invite
1:43:17Miss Monal from Department of
1:43:19Electronics to share her experience and
1:43:21thoughts with us on this special
1:43:22occasion.
1:43:45Good afternoon to dignitaries on the

1:46:20everyone all the very best for the
1:46:23future.
1:46:29Thank you Miss Manal for sharing your
1:46:31heartfelt words. Now I invite Miss Anus
1:46:35from School of Environmental Studies to
1:46:37share a few words with us on our
1:46:39experiences as a graduating student.
1:46:52Good afternoon everyone who are present
1:46:54here. our respected uh chief guest sir
1:46:58Prashant sir. Uh to mention I have been
1:47:01an UPSC aspirant and uh since then I
1:47:04have been a follower of sir and today
1:47:07attending his uh live speech here has
1:47:10been a great pleasure and honor to me.
1:47:12Uh and also I will address all the
1:47:15respected professors uh parents and my

1:47:24congratulate deep from my heart everyone
1:47:27uh to for this graduation ceremony
1:47:30because it's it's a lifetime achievement
1:47:33uh that we have to cherish today. I am
1:47:35deeply honored to stand here on behalf
1:47:38of the graduating students of the school
1:47:40of environmental studies reflecting on
1:47:42our transformative two-year journey. Our
1:47:45school was established in 1933 with a
1:47:48small number of students and teachers
1:47:51has today grown into a vibrant family of
1:47:54more than 150 MSE students, integrated
1:47:57MSE students and research scholars. The
1:47:59MSE environmental science and technology
1:48:01program is truly unique. A
1:48:03multiddisciplinary program that bridges
1:48:06the gap between our natural world and
1:48:08the complex technological landscape.
1:48:10Through its diverse curriculum, we
1:48:12didn't just study science. We learned
1:48:14how to protect life and environment. It
1:48:17has introduced us to the basic science
1:48:19of environment physics, chemistry,
1:48:21biology, microbiology and biotechnology
1:48:24which then progress to advanced diverse
1:48:26areas related to sustainable
1:48:28development, ESG frameworks, green
1:48:31design management, GIS, remote sensing,
1:48:34pollution control, climate change,
1:48:36toxicology, environmental impact
1:48:38assessment and advanced water and waste
1:48:41treatment technologies. This extensive
1:48:43curriculum has provided us with both the
1:48:45scientific knowledge and practical
1:48:47skills preparing us to address today's
1:48:49environmental challenges. Our education
1:48:52wasn't just confined to four walls.
1:48:54Through valuable field exposure,
1:48:56educational field visits, rigorous
1:48:58laboratory training, internships,
1:49:00seminars, and research projects. The
1:49:03department taught us to step out of the
1:49:05classroom and look into the real world.
1:49:07These experiences helped us connect
1:49:09theory with practical applications and
1:49:12enhanced our professional skills and
1:49:14confidence. I want to express our most
1:49:16sincere gratitude to our director Dr.
1:49:19Sidrai Dvi Priya ma'am, our dedicated

1:52:39Today you are not just celebrating
1:52:42the completion of the degree. We are
1:52:46celebrating the spark of innovation
1:52:50that each of you carries into the world.
1:52:54The power of light and charge.
1:52:57When you think about it, the world is
1:53:00shaped by two fundamental forces that
1:53:04you have spent years mastering that is
1:53:08electrons and photons.
1:53:11To our dear electronics graduates, you
1:53:14are the architects of the modern world.
1:53:17You took the cows of electrical charge
1:53:21and harnessed it into logic,
1:53:25computing, and connectivity.
1:53:28You understand the invisible pulse that
1:53:32powers our global infrastructures.
1:53:36To our photonic graduates, you are the
1:53:38masters of light.
1:53:41From fiber optic configurations to an
1:53:45advanced quantum
1:53:48imaging, you have learned to bend,
1:53:55manipulate and guide the fastest thing
1:53:59in the universe to solve our human
1:54:02problems.
1:54:04Separately, your fields are
1:54:06revolutionary, but combined, you
1:54:08represent the cutting edge of human
1:54:11progress.
1:54:14The intersection of electronics and
1:54:16photonics is where the future lives.
1:54:20Whether that's in quantum computing,
1:54:23sustainable energy, or life-saving

1:54:28you are the ones who will make the next
1:54:30generation of technology faster,
1:54:33smarter, and more luminous.
1:54:37To our environmental studies graduates,
1:54:40you are the concerns and the guardians
1:54:43of our planet.
1:54:45You have studied the delicate balances
1:54:48of our planet, the complexities of
1:54:51ecosystems
1:54:52and the
1:54:54urgent necessity of sustainability.
1:55:02You understand the progress cannot came
1:55:06at the cost of our home. Your voice and
1:55:12your science are what will ensure that
1:55:14humanity has a thriving world to pass
1:55:16down to the next generation.
1:55:20And to the lawn member from the

1:55:26and you should have understood that
1:55:31the greatness of small the impact of
1:55:34small things which will bring to our
1:55:36lives and which will be changing our
1:55:39lives in this universe.
1:55:43Then your journey here wasn't just
1:55:46mastering Maxwell's equations,
1:55:49semiconductor physics or complex circuit
1:55:52systems. It was about resilience.
1:55:56You spent countless late nights
1:55:59debugging code that refused to run,
1:56:02troubleshooting circuits that wouldn't
1:56:04behave, and aligning optical setups
1:56:07where a single millimeter made all the
1:56:11difference.
1:56:13The moments of frustration and the
1:56:15ultimate breakthroughs
1:56:17taught you something far more valuable
1:56:19than technical theory
1:56:22that taught you how to think, how to
1:56:25pres how to preserve
1:56:28and how to innovate.
1:56:32The true measure of your education is
1:56:34not just the knowledge you have
1:56:37acquired, but how you use the knowledge
1:56:40to illuminate the corners of our world
1:56:44and solve its most pressing challenges.
1:56:49As you step out of these halls into that
1:56:52of the industry into the research labs
1:56:55or other entrepreneurial ventures,
1:56:58remember that you carry a great
1:57:01responsibility.
1:57:03Technology is a powerful tool and you
1:57:07are its new stewards.
1:57:10Use your expertise to build a world that
1:57:13is more connected,
1:57:15more sustainable, and more equitable.
1:57:20Never lose, never lose that curiosity
1:57:23that brought to you to this campus in
1:57:26the first place.
1:57:29Stay bold, keep questioning, and keep
1:57:32creating.
1:57:35To the parents and families of in the
1:57:38audience, thank you for trusting us with
1:57:41your brilliant children and thank you
1:57:44for your unwavering support that brought
1:57:47them to this stage today. The victory is
