The 43rd program in the Industry-Educational Institutions Interfacing Series, organized by the Bhardwaj Foundation, Jaipur, was held at the Chamber Bhavan, M.I. Road, Jaipur, in collaboration with the Rajasthan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and INVC.
The Chief Guest was Dr. Arun Chaturvedi (Chairman, Rajasthan State Finance Commission), and the Guests of Honor were Dr. O.P. Agarwal (President, JECRC University) and Shri Surjaram (President, SKIT).
Chief Guest Shri Arun Chaturvedi stated that environment and industry should be mutually beneficial so they can fulfill their respective duties and establish a balance between business and the environment.
On this occasion, Dr. K.L. Jain, President of the Rajasthan Chamber of Commerce and Industries and a renowned figure in the business world, was honored with the ‘Manav Ratna’ Alankaran, a Lifetime Achievement International Award, presented with a gold medal, a certificate of appreciation, and a citation.
Dr. P.M. Bhardwaj, Founder-President of the Foundation and a renowned Management Guru, informed that 42 national-level interfacing programs have been organized so far in various universities and institutions. He stated that the need for such programs arose because traditional education was not directly aligned with industry expectations, which forced companies to spend heavily on additional training for employees. Dr. Bhardwaj also warned against the danger of global warming and advocated for the preservation of humanity.
Dr. D.P. Sharma (National Brand Ambassador, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan; International Digital Diplomat) lauded the Foundation, stating that the Bhardwaj Foundation deserves credit for organizing such nationally significant programs.
During the event, Dr. K.L. Jain (President, Rajasthan Chamber) was presented with the “Manav Ratna” International Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of INVC. A large number of students and representatives from the fields of education, industry, and international diplomacy were present on the occasion.
Shri Zakir Hussain, Chairman of the INVC International Award Selection Committee, announced the ‘Manav Ratna’ decoration for Dr. K.L. Jain, stating that this honor is conferred upon great personalities who have made specific contributions to humanity. It is notable that this award has previously been given to various national and international figures from the fields of the United Nations International Diplomacy, religion, police, and education, as well as the industrial sector. Owing to important responsibilities in the national interest, Award Committee convener Advocate Virendra Rawat could not be present at the program.
Shri Chaturvedi further said that environmental education and industry must be established in equivalence with each other.
Shri Surja Ram Meel stated that India’s development is possible only by keeping education away from politics and politics away from education.
Shri Agarwal commented that if India is to become a developed nation, we must establish a balance between development, education, and finance.
Dr. K.L. Jain expressed his gratitude to all.
