India’s G20 Sherpa and former CEO of NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant said on Saturday that empathy, social responsibility, and ethical leadership should be the core values guiding youngsters to bring about sustainable development in society.
He was delivering the 14th convocation address at Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) at Deralakatte.
Learning should be a continuous process, he said. The graduates should be torch-bearers in realising the country’s goal of achieving $30 trillion economy by 2047. “Your journey begins today, and it is rooted in the connections you forge and the values you carry forward,” he said.
