: Aloysias P. Fernaandes, chairman, NABARD financial services, Bengaluru, has called upon the students to dream with open eyes and work hard to realise their dreams.
He was delivering the sixth talk of ‘Leadership wisdom series’ organised by the College of Cooperation, Banking and Management, of the Kerala Agricultural University, here on Tuesday. He asked the students to balance life so that individual as well as society is benefited.
“Opinion polls have shown that the young generation wants a modern India, well-governed India and a corruption-free India, but they don't cry for a poverty-free India,” he pointed out.
He asked the students to raise questions for the proper development of society.
“You should ask why the pizza delivery man reaches faster than an ambulance or a police team? Why a soldier’s martyrdom gets lower compensation than an Asian games medal? You should realise that India needs smart governance more than smartphones.
“Technology discriminates society than uniting it or improving it. So master technology, which is appropriate for you. But never allow technologies to master you,” Mr. Fernaandes said.
The orientation programme for new batch of MBA (agri-business management) was inaugurated by Paul Thomas, Managing Director, ESAF.
