Inaugurating the Conference, Chief Guest Shri. Chirag Paswan, Hon’ble Union Minister for Food Processing Industries of India, averred, “Youth are the future of the country and youth have to take the lead in making India “Viksit Bharat”, therefore, there is a huge responsibility on their shoulders. We have crossed the first quarter of the 21st century, i.e., from the year 2000-2025 and the next quarter, from the year 2025-2050, will be extremely crucial. Under the visionary leadership of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, India is going to become the most developed nation by 2047, and every sector is focussed towards achieving this goal. India’s youth will be at important leadership positions in the near future, and they will face many challenges in life. However, when faced by challenges, one has two options, either one can give up or one can transform every challenge into an opportunity.”
Sharing his personal journey, he said, “My life journey has not been easy, and I have faced many challenges during my journey. However, they have only made me stronger. Today, India is ready to face any challenge. From being a food deficit country, today India has a surplus production of food grains, where it can even extend its support to other countries who are facing the problem of food security. India is not only adopting new technologies but also aiming to become a leader in technology. Inspite of all the global challenges, India is the fastest growing economy of the world, and it has only been possible because we have transformed all challenges into opportunities and became the fourth largest economy of the world.” He called upon the students to move forward with positivity and strong determination since nothing is impossible if one is focussed and determined in life.
Sharing his words of wisdom, Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, Founder President, Amity Education Group, said, “Our country will become the most developed country by 2047 and the youth our country will be instrumental in achieving this goal. Hard work, determination, perseverance and the blessings of almighty assure success, and students must define their goals and work hard towards achieving their goals.”
Dr. Atul Chauhan, Chancellor, Amity University, stated, “Amity Education Group is committed to nurturing young leaders by not only providing them with the best education but also values and sanskaars, which make them a good human being. It is the youth of the country who must come forward, take the lead and put our country on the global map, by making it the most developed country of the world.”
Professor Charlie Jeffery, Vice Chancellor, University of York, opined, “India has a huge population of the youth. The youth need to develop a research and innovation- oriented mindset. Skill development along with a multi-disciplinary approach will ensure success of the students in all areas.”
Welcoming the guests during the Inaugural Session, Prof. (Dr.) Gurinder Singh, Group Vice Chancellor, Amity Universities said, “INBUSH is the most prestigious Conference of Amity University, bringing together thought leaders, industry leaders, experts, researchers and students, to exchange knowledge and experience. The business landscape of our country is driven by technology, we have made significant strides and invested in technology to enhance our efficiencies, and now we need to manage them effectively. We look forward for many enriching interactions on this wonderful platform to draw thought provoking ideas from the participants, which will be highly beneficial for the students.”

Participation of youth, gender equalization and inclusion are the three pillars which will be a game changer for our country.”
