Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said India's rise as a global power is unstoppable, provided its population, knowledge, and talent remain aligned with traditional values and national goals. Aligning with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s views, he suggested that couples should ideally have three children to maintain population stability and ensure national strength. Addressing the Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan in Tirupati, Naidu highlighted India’s historical role as a knowledge leader, citing urban planning in Harappan civilisation 4,500 years ago, the spiritual science of yoga 2,900 years ago, and medicinal breakthroughs of Ayurveda 2,600 years ago. He mentioned the contributions of Takshashila and Nalanda universities in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and economics. The CM pointed to the high per capita income of the Indian diaspora and country's dominance in Information Technology (IT) as strategic levers. He reiterated the goal for India to become the world's second-largest economy soon, and the largest by 2047, building on the momentum of the 1991 reforms.
Union Minister or Science & Technology, Earth Sciences Dr Jitendra Singh said that India has successfully bridged tradition with modernity by preserving core civilisational values while simultaneously embracing cutting-edge technologies, with the ultimate aim to ensure ease of living for common citizen. The Minister said that India’s transformation into a global science and technology leader over the last decade under PM Narendra Modi has been enabled by decisive policy support from the top political hierarchy.
In his address, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said, we have to ensure that people overcome old blind faiths, and that applies for those who are stuck in new blind faiths...The architecture of our old temples is such that they survived many disasters. We had been farming using traditional methods for the last 10,000 years, and the soil remained intact, but now, due to the need to increase production, it has resulted in ‘Cancer Train' running from Punjab to Jaipur...India is destined to grow because it is the need of the hour. But India must not only become a superpower but also a Vishwa Guru.
The inaugural session was attended by academicians, and representatives from scientific institutions across the country. The Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan 2025 is being held at Tirupati from December 26 to 29, bringing together stakeholders to deliberate on the future roadmap of Indian science, technology, and innovation.
