While addressing the audience, Dr. Pandey emphasised the importance of innovation and invention. He said “The students, these days, are opting for computer science only, causing the focus to shift from science/ engineering to salary packages. We must understand that computers alone, cannot do anything; it requires the skills of different branches of engineering. Therefore, on the occasion of the Engineer’s Day celebration, I advise students to focus on core engineering.”
