Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, delivered a powerful message at the 20th FICCI Higher Education Summit 2025 in New Delhi: education is the cornerstone for India to emerge as a developed nation and the world's third-largest economy.

Key Highlights from Gadkari's Address

Gadkari stressed that no country can excel without a strong focus on education, research, and innovation. He highlighted India's advantage—boasting the largest pool of young, talented, and skilled engineers globally—as a key driver for growth. Calling for collective action under the mantra "Waste to wealth and knowledge to wealth," he urged prioritizing futuristic development to achieve self-reliance.
