Ram Nath Kovind, the 14th President of India, delivered the 5th Dr Rajaram Jaipuria Memorial Lecture on the topic of India's rise as a Vishwa Guru.
The Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions held an annual lecture attended by 600 attendees, including academics, industry figures, educators and students. The lecture was livestreamed, attracting 7350 people from the group's network online.
Ram Nath Kovind, said, “India has given the world the concepts of zero and decimal. Many great Indian thinkers of antiquity have left an indelible mark in sciences, mathematics and spirituality across the world. If we look at our nation today, our space programme is among the best. We have reached the south pole of the moon, sent an orbiter around mars and are studying the sun through the mission Aditya L1. We have a thriving digital economy. Today our country is going through the beginning of Amrit Kaal. We all have to contribute collectively towards nation-building to make India a Vishwa Guru once again.”
The Dr Rajaram Jaipuria Memorial Lecture, launched in 2019, honours the vision and legacy of Dr Rajaram Jaipuria, an industrialist, educationist and philanthropist who aimed to build India.
