They presented degrees to the graduating students, and gold medals to meritorious students.

While addressing the students at the campus in Nirmal district on Saturday, KTR enthused them with entrepreneurship spirit and spoke about the plethora of opportunities in emerging sectors.

He said, “No mountain is too big to climb, Just roll up your sleeves and go on… Glory is waiting”

The Minister said that Telangana is playing a leading role in facilitating and providing strategic direction to global companies with high-quality human resources. The RGUKT has signed an MoU with T-Hub in the presence of the Minister.

Explaining to the students the demand for alternative materials as the existing materials contribute to carbon emission, the Minister recommended they look at 3D – Digitisation, Decarbonisation and Decentralisation which will present immense opportunities for students in the near future.

He requested the Education Minister to introduce a practice school or apprenticeship model so that students get industrial exposure while pursuing academics. KTR said that in association with T-Hub and T-works, RGUKT will be encouraged to offer courses in innovation and entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Aerospace, Smart Materials, Electric Vehicles, Clean Energy, and Holography as a minor course or diploma course in order to be industry ready.

On the occasion, Minister KTR kept the promises made to the university’s students in September 2022. Along with his cabinet colleagues, he ceremoniously distributed laptops to engineering students. About 2,200 laptops and 1,500 desktops were readied to be given away to the engineering, and P1 & P2 students. The Minister assured that the campus will be supplied with Mission Bhagiratha water. RGUKT will become the first educational institute in the country to meet its energy from renewable sources and not from traditional power, and the campus will get a science block.He appreciated Sabitha Indra Reddy for the decision to establish a 10-bedded hospital supported by doctors from various specialisations.
