need to face the avenues of technological influence impacting India in the global society. In the perspective of Industry 4.0, he emphasized the need for a purposeful life that builds on a University education.
The unique convergence of the digital, physical and biological worlds had created technological advances that are expected to transform the daily lives of ordinary citizens around the globe, at an unprecedented
and ever-accelerating pace in this era of the fourth industrial revolution. So, he called for a meaningful contribution from the graduates of NIT- Tiruchirappalli taking a humanistic perspective in
this digital era. He added that they are positioned to maximize the benefits of technology, minimizing the deleterious effects apart from engaging in their professional and personal lives. The talented and
well-trained graduates can make it happen and ensure that the new opportunities afforded by Industry 4.0 are carefully balanced with the human conditions, in the diverse geopolitical and cultural landscape
of India.
