Chennai, April 16 (MExN): The Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai, celebrated its University Day on Tuesday with Indian Bank Managing Director & CEO Binod Kumar as chief guest, who urged students to embrace continuous learning and innovation focused on improving end-user experience.
Major Vaibhav Chaurasia, an alumnus of VIT Chennai, attended as the Guest of Honour and encouraged students to remain resilient and maintain self-belief despite setbacks.
Presiding over the event, VIT Founder and Chancellor Dr G Viswanathan emphasised the transformative power of education, stating that it uplifts not just individuals but also society and the nation. He called for universal access to quality education to achieve the vision of a developed India.
