INDIA – unity in DiversityFACTS: 7th largest area, 3000 km N-S or E-W,36 states UTs, 29 languages, 8 majorreligions, GDP- 2tn, but per capita 100,BPL 22%, Literacy 74%, GER 15%

PREAMBLE If science is seeking the fundamental truth of “KNOW-WHY?”,engineering is all about learning the “KNOW-HOW?” Thus engineering must be devoted to providing solutions tosocietal needs, challenges and aspirations Out of 1.25 billion people (17.5 % of the world), nearly twothird ( 800 million) of its population is below 35 years of age India is projected to be the nation with youngest population ofthe world by 2020 (average age 29 years) Despite having a GDP of 2.0 trillion (ranking 10th or even 4thin PPP terms), India is confronted with certain stark realitieslike: poverty, hunger, health care concern, security threat,inadequacy of basic amenities (housing, water, employment)and lack of ‘appropriate’ education Engineering community must provide solution to problems ofenergy, defense, sustainability, security and education
