Dr. Vikram A. Sarabhai (Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission), chief guest for the convocation, is seen delivering the convocation address. In his speech, he talked about technology, politics, development and education. He included that “We have, I believe, to create a social system and a pattern of development which is based not on monolithic organizations operating impersonally at an all-India level or even at the level of the states, but in units, where the feed-back loop has a high fidelity for communication and a quick response.”
