Speaking at the event, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said, “With nearly 240 startups associated with you, out of 1.7 lakh across the country, IIT Roorkee is making a huge contribution to India’s startup movement. Your nine centers of excellence, your pioneering work in disaster risk, resilience and sustainability, and your deep engagement with local communities through initiatives like Vibrant Villages make you a true role model of an academic institution. Located in the Himalayas, your role is not only vital during disasters but equally significant in what I call a ‘peacetime calendar,’ where institutions like yours help build resilience, sustainability, and growth for the nation.”
