Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday emphasized the growing importance of autonomous educational institutions and innovation-driven learning while addressing the “Udaan 25–26: Jewel of LIT and Youth Icon Awards” at Laxminarayan Innovation Technological University (LIT), Nagpur.
Speaking at the event, Fadnavis said an institution’s true identity is shaped by the achievements of its alumni across various sectors. He described LIT’s former students as its greatest strength and said global alumni meets help strengthen ties within the academic community.
As India’s economy expands rapidly, Fadnavis noted that the demand for globally competitive human resources is rising. To meet this need, he said, the Maharashtra government has taken a policy decision to grant autonomy to quality universities to improve academic excellence. LIT’s autonomy, he added, will help create a stronger and more skilled workforce in the coming years.
Addressing climate change challenges, the chief minister stressed the importance of natural farming. He said the state government aims to bring at least 2.5 million hectares under natural farming practices, with active participation from educational and research institutions.
Fadnavis also pointed to the changing nature of employment due to energy transition, green jobs and artificial intelligence. Institutions such as LIT, he said, are expected to become hubs of innovation and play a key role in India’s development.
The event was attended by Padma Shri awardee and Chairman of LIT’s Governing Council Dr. G.D. Yadav, Solar Group of Industries Chairman Satyanarayan Nuwal, and several other dignitaries.
