Speaking during the event, Minister Nadda said, "It has always been the goal of Prime Minister Modi to come up with technical hubs of innovation and innovation as well as speed, scale and skill in a balanced manner. So, when skill comes, the speed comes and when it comes to speed, the scale also increases automatically. So they are inter-related and I am confident that the way CIPET has undertaken its journey is a new one."
He further praised the efforts of the faculty in recognising any challenges and finding solutions to those challenges, affirming the government's commitment to provide facilities to them for solving any problems.
"I want to tell the faculty with strength that you will make a big contribution and you will lead it. This is mine too. There is no unequivocal opinion about that either. There will be new challenges and new solutions. We will provide you with the facility to facilitate. So that you can identify those challenges first and address those and then solution to those challenges," Minister Nadda said.
The basic object of CIPET is to train people in various disciplines of plastics such as mould making, mould design, testing and characterization of plastics, plastic processing etc., for the plastic industry.
Earlier today, Minister Nadda also addressed the healthcare summit at Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), on the theme of "Advancing Healthcare for India at 2047".
