International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recognized India as a Promising Destination for Investment and a Country full of Opportunities, says Vice President Dhankhar at the Convocation of Panjab University in Chandigarh.
Chandigarh, India, March 07, 2024 — The Vice-President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, who is the ex-officio Chancellor of the institution, addressed the 71st Convocation of Panjab University in Chandigarh today.
The Vice President stated that the IMF has recognized India as a bright spot for investment and opportunity. Additionally, the World Economic Forum is optimistic about India’s development and expects it to become a developed nation by 2047.
The Vice-President emphasized the importance of universities in exposing students to new areas of study, such as disruptive technology, and breaking down the silos that prioritize cutthroat competition for government jobs. Shri Dhankhar also highlighted the need for balance in understanding the advantages and disadvantages of competition.
The Vice-President acknowledged that a university’s strength largely depends on its faculty and alumni. Therefore, he appealed to alumni to contribute to the growth of their Alma Mater. He further noted that alumni and corporations play a crucial role in developing educational institutions in developed nations.
He urged corporates to support educational institutions in India to promote innovation, research, and development. According to him, universities should serve as a platform for confronting ideas rather than just being a sanctuary for comfort.

MUMBAI, India, March 8, 2024 — The 4th edition of the PEPSI presents the FEF India Fashion Awards (FEF IFA) 2024 x WION, started on March 7, 2024.
On the first day of the two-day event held at St. Regis Hotel in Mumbai, several industry experts came together to have insightful conversations.

The event revolved around the ‘Fashion for Good’ theme and featured various sessions and panel discussions. These covered insightful and thought-provoking topics that explored the role of fashion in films and beyond.
Vaghish Pathak, the FEF India Fashion Awards Chairman, stated that “Fashion for good” is not a mere trend but a deliberate pledge to incorporate Sustainability into the essence of style. Fashion should reflect the importance of responsible choices that help improve the lives of small artisans and craftsmen who play a crucial role in preserving our heritage.
During a conversation about the significance of fashion, Tamannaah Bhatia, an actress, emphasized that in the past, people expressed more individuality than they do now.
