A One-Day State Level Conference on “Management Education and Viksit Bharat 2047: A R oadmap” was organized on Monday at Sri Ramakrishna Degree College, Nandyal, in association with AIMS – AP Chapter.

The event witnessed the gracious presence of several distinguished guests, including Sri Pocha Brahmananda Reddy (Industrialist, Nandyal), Prof. G. Ramakrishna Reddy (Chairman, Sri Ramakrishna Educational Institutions, Nandyal), Prof. Adisesha Reddy (Chairman, AIMS, AP Chapter), Prof. P. Narayana Reddy (Former AIMS Board Member), Prof. C. Vishwanath Reddy (Rayalaseema University, Kurnool), Prof. Anil Ramesh, College Director G. Hemant Reddy, and Estate Manager Pragathi Reddy, along with faculty and students of the institution.

Sri Pocha Brahmananda Reddy, in his address, emphasized the importance of management education, particularly MBA, stating that it equips individuals not just to seek jobs but to become job creators. Drawing from his own experience, he highlighted that becoming a provider of employment is more impactful and fulfilling. He stressed that dedication and vision are essential for success, and encouraged students to imbibe these qualities and contribute to building a developed India by 2047.

Prof. P. Narayana Reddy spoke about the Government of India’s vision for a developed India by 2047, highlighting that this goal can only be achieved through the active participation of the youth. He pointed out that while the journey isn’t simple, it is certainly achievable if every citizen contributes. He encouraged students to take inspiration from India’s rich history and to recognize their responsibility in shaping the nation’s future. He underlined the need for skills, determination, and innovation to reach this milestone.

Prof. C. Vishwanath Reddy proudly stated that India, being the most populous country, has immense potential to become the top nation globally. With only 8% of the population retired, the remaining 92% is active, making it a great strength. However, many youths remain unemployed or underutilized. He stressed the need for students to adapt to the changing educational landscape, especially in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum Technology, and Data Science, and to apply these skills towards national development.

Prof. Anil Ramesh echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the future of India lies in the hands of its youth—nearly 80% of the development by 2047 depends on them. He encouraged students to adopt innovative thinking and leadership qualities and to not just settle for jobs, but aim to become entrepreneurs and innovators. He highlighted the importance of AI not only in financial systems but across all sectors and urged the students to embrace technological advancements proactively.

Prof. Adisesha Reddy stated that this was the second such conference held at the college and reiterated that the dream of a “Viksit Bharat 2047” is only possible through collective effort. He stressed that it is the responsibility of every citizen, especially the youth, to work towards this national vision.

During the interactive session, Prof. Kamal, Prof. Govardhan, and others raised pertinent questions regarding India’s roadmap to development by 2047. These were addressed insightfully by Prof. Anil Ramesh, Prof. Vishwanath Reddy, Prof. Narayana Reddy, and Prof. Adisesha Reddy.

They collectively reiterated that for India to attain the highest global stature by 2047, every individual must contribute. The youth must constantly adapt, innovate, and upskill themselves in tune with evolving demands. The speakers highlighted that success today demands more than academic qualifications—it requires creativity, leadership, innovation, and relevant skills.
