We live in an era of information and technology. The computers and technology are an integral part of most of our daily life. From the early morning till the end of the day and even at the time of relaxation, technology is a part of our life. Technology keeps us more connected, well informed, and accessible than any generation before us. But there is something known as ‘too much’ information, which confuses more than it teaches so be very careful. I appeal you to always keep balance between technology with the human and social values in your life. Use the technology to resolve the problems of the masses and our environment. Give more importance to the soft skills than to just technical skills. Be entrepreneur or worker, I appeal you to be a responsible citizen of the India and as a member of the global citizen’s team, always work towards making this planet as peaceful place and sustainable place for all the living organisms.
All the Best, keep in touch.
Jai Hind…
