JNTU students asked to pursue their passion

Hyderabad: Hari Eppanapally, Chairman & CEO of The CIC Group, advised the students of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad, to follow their dreams. “Pursuing your passion will never let you sleep or get tired. Even when you fail, you don’t feel empty but proud,” he said during a ‘Meet The Achiever’ programme at the varsity. He was one of the invitees for this programme last week.

University-Industry Interaction Centre and Directorate of Alumni Affairs conduct this programme every week. But, this week the alumni include high-profile dignitaries. The other invitee was Telangana former DGP M Mahender Reddy. On the occasion, JNTU Vice Chancellor Prof Katta Narasimha Reddy asked both the alumni to motivate the students.

Around 500 students were gathered at the event. Hari shared his life experiences to inspire them to achieve new milestones. He highlighted the need for character building to become responsible citizens of the country. He also shared his positive thoughts on India becoming a $30 trillion economy by 2047 from a $3 trillion-economy today.
