Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani speaking on November 22 at the 10th Convocation of Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) said three revolutionary shifts - Clean energy, bio-energy, and the digital revolution - will govern India’s growth in the coming decades, and called upon the graduating students to lead in achieving the country's green energy goals.
"Three game-changing revolutions will govern India’s growth in the decades ahead - the Clean Energy Revolution, the Bio-Energy Revolution and the Digital Revolution," Ambani said during his virtual address.
"Together, they will transform lives in ways unimagined. While the clean energy revolution and the bio-energy revolution will produce energy sustainably, the digital revolution will enable us to consume energy efficiently. All three revolutions will together help India and the world save our beautiful planet from the climate crisis," he said.
"Clean energy and bio-energy will transform our lives. And, energy sustainability will enable us to consume resources efficiently. These will protect the world from the climate crisis. There are necessary ingredients that India needs. India should lead in achieving these goals," he added.
With the united efforts and initiatives of Indian business organisations, India may become a global leader in renewable energy, he further said.
"Think green. Green energy movement is being sensitive to mother nature. We have to leave behind healthier planet for the future. Digitisaiton will be force multiplier. Artificial intelligence is an enabler of change," Ambani, who is the President of University Board of Governors at PDEU, added.
Reminding the students of the role of their parents in their life, he said, "Today is your day. The arc lights are on you. But standing in the wings are your parents and elders. It's a very special day for them too. They have waited eagerly to see you walk up to the stage and receive your graduation certificate. It has been their lifelong dream. Don't every forget the stuggles they underwent and the sacrifices they made. Their contribution to your success is immeasurable."
He also gave some advice to students, noting that in the age of 4G and 5G, "MataG amd PitaG" are the only two "Gs" who are their dependable pillars of strength and support always.
He expressed happiness that the students are graduating in the year when India's Amrit Kaal officially begins.
"Amrit kal is auspicious time for any new beginning. As Amrit Kal unfolds, India will witness unprecedented explosion in economic growth and opportunities," Ambani said.
'Indian economy will grow to $40 trillion by 2047'
India is likely to become a USD 40 trillion economy by 2047, Ambani said.
"From a 3 trillion-dollar economy, India will grow to become a 40 trillion-dollar economy by 2047, ranking among the top three economies of the world," the RIL Chairman said.
"A bright future beckons you. Step out at the opportunity that knocks at your door. You have to ensure India leads," he told the students.
The RIL Chairman speaking on the importance of green energy in the betterment of nation and the world, told the students to take advantage of today’s opportunities that are before them and expressed confidence that they would aim for meeting India's energy goals.
Talks about three manthras - Think Big, Think Green and Think Digital
Congratulating the students on their graduation, Ambani shared three mantras that can be used to succeed in this endeavour.
'Think Big' was the first mantra. Ambani asked the students to be audacious dreamers.
He said, "every great thing ever built in this world was once a dream thought to be impossible. You have to own your dream with courage, nurture it with conviction and realise it with bold and disciplined action."
The second was 'Think Green'. It is important to be considerate of mother nature, he said.
"It is about being sensitive to Mother Nature. It is about inventing means to harvest its energy without harming it. It's about ensuring that we leave behind a better and a healthier planet for the future generations," Ambani said.
The third was 'Think Digital'. "Digitisation will play the role of a force multiplier. Technologies such as AI, Robotics, and IoT are powerful enablers of change. Use them to your advantage," he said.
