Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Member of Parliament and the event’s chief guest, underscored the value of international education. “We must encourage our students to explore global academic opportunities while also creating strong pathways for them to return and contribute to India’s development,” he said. “Those who excel abroad should be welcomed back to power the country’s growing economy.”
