The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address IIT Delhi's 57th convocation on Saturday as chief guest, conferring degrees on over 3,000 students including 587 PhD scholars. He will present top honours such as the President's Gold Medal and Director's Gold Medal.
Modi will also inaugurate Param Pragya, an AI-powered supercomputing facility at the institute's Sonipat campus, strengthening AI, data science, and interdisciplinary research. IIT Delhi Director Rangan Banerjee said the institute has signed MoUs with 18 NITs for a national academic collaboration network.
The Indian Opinion
Param Pragya is a welcome step, but India's supercomputing story has often been about launch events rather than sustained use. The real test will be whether this facility is made accessible to researchers outside IIT Delhi and whether it helps solve problems in agriculture, healthcare, and climate. Watch for the number of inter-institutional projects it supports in its first year.
