The Story in Brief
VIT-AP University held a freshers orientation for the 2026-27 batch, with Chancellor Dr G Viswanathan stating that education is the only real wealth that cannot be destroyed. Chief guest Richard King of TCS urged students to discover their potential and build their identity. Founder Sandal Kotawala, a VIT alumnus, shared his journey from campus to creating a glaucoma detection device. The programme also featured calls for India to allocate 6% of GDP to education and improve the gross enrolment ratio.
