Next 20 years to see more progress than the previous 100: Mukesh Ambani

Gandhinagar: Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Friday said he strongly believes that in the next 20 years humanity will see more progress than in the last century due to technology and digitisation.

"Sometimes it will be actually easier to accomplish the dream you thought were impossible only yesterday. Don't take me wrongly, as it will require more hard work and dedication," Ambani said.

He was addressing the convocation ceremony of Reliance Industries-run Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) here.

"The reason for realisation of these impossible dreams is because in next 20 years technology, particularly digitisation, will solve many problems that have remained unresolved.

"I strongly believe that in the next 20 years humanity will see more progress than in the last 100," Ambani said, adding that it will be a great opportunity for students graduating now.

Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani were also present on the occasion.

While addressing students, Javadekar said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has given importance to innovation and started many schemes so that innovation gets a boost in the country.

"We have got such a Prime Minister in the country who says that India will progress only by innovation and research.

"When he says 'Make In India', that is not just manufacturing in India. He is telling our intellectual students to innovate, he is telling investors to invest. So come innovate, invest, manufacture and sell made in India goods with pride," Javadekar said.
