Ajeenkya DY Patil University (ADYPU) in association with Youth20 (an official engagement of G20) hosted its Youth Festival in Pune at the lush-green University recently.
The event highlighted one of the most relevant themes of ‘Future of Work: Industry 4.0, Innovation & 21st Century Skills’. The deliberations emphasized the increasing need for innovation as a critical factor in contributing towards the future of work.
Dr Ajeenkya DY Patil, President ADYPU, said that youth today are in a connected world and there is an opportunity to collaborate on a larger global scale. Time has come to combine our wisdom and resources and work towards development of greater peace and planet. Technologies will truly enable us to take us into a future we only envisage in science fiction. In fact, today science fiction has become science fact. Apart from education, skills will be crucial to shape our future.
In his inaugural address, Dr Anirban Ganguly, Chairman & Trustee–Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee Research Foundation said that this G20 is special as India on its 75th year of Independence has got the opportunity to lead the G20. India’s rise is driven by the sense of one earth, one future, and one family. Dr Ganguly hailed ADYPU’s efforts in putting together the Youth Festival with a fascinating array of subjects in an imaginative and inspiring way led by Dr Ajeenkya DY Patil. He said that ADYPU is an educational institution rooted in society and has a vision for national growth and progress.
