The ninth Central Expert Lecture of SIP 2025 was not a technical talk — it was a spiritual awakening. With profound simplicity and patriotic depth, Dr. K. S. Purohit reminded students that being an engineer in India begins with being a grateful, self-aware, and value-rooted human. His message — that India is and will always be a Vishwaguru — was backed by stories of wisdom, nature, and self-reflection.

Drawing a stark contrast between artificial intelligence and the emotional, moral, and spiritual richness of natural intelligence, he urged students not to become “robots of data” but seekers of meaning. Through shlokas, childhood metaphors, and the sacred idea of Matru, Pitru, and Guru ऋण (debt), he emphasized that true success comes from reverence, discipline, and service.

Principal Dr. V. S. Purani’s “KHWAAB” mantra (Knowledge, Hard work, Wisdom, Ability, Behaviour) and Dr. Trivedi’s closing reflections made this session deeply resonant. It was a call to see education as a responsibility — not just for a career, but for character.
In an era of algorithms and automation, Dr. Purohit reignited faith in timeless values and inner software — reminding every student that India's greatest contribution to the world is not machines, but minds.
