The Padma Shri awardee and celebrated mathematician and academician Anand Kumar addressed over 700 students at an interactive session at UPES’ ‘Engineering Tomorrow’ event in Kota. Speaking about the core elements that can help drive success, Kumar emphasized the fact that whether a student opts for a core engineering degree or a degree in computer sciences, both fields will yield great professional paths, as long as students are willing to put in the hard work.
He also spoke about the need to think outside the box, in the field of engineering in order to truly innovate. He emphasized on the importance of patience, dedication, and perseverance in achieving scalable success. He said, “The thought of achieving success should not just run through your mind but also reflect in your routine. The enthusiasm and zeal to achieve success should prevail over anything else in your mind.” He also appreciated many scholarship programs being run by UPES, especially the girl scholarship program called ‘Shakti’ which has been offered to more than 6,000 female students across the country. Under the initiative, meritorious female students with more than 60% marks in class 12th are awarded scholarships of up to 30% in tuition fees.
