Noida,

April 10 (HS): Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday attended the

convocation ceremony of Noida International University in Gautam Buddha Nagar. Perceptions

about Gen Z are often wrong. They are called lazy or entitled, but I believe

the reality is completely different. This generation is self-driven, takes its

own decisions, believes in collaboration and accepts diversity. They have a

practical approach to solving problems, flexibility, and a desire for

autonomy,” he said.

Highlighting

India’s demographic strength, Singh referred to French philosopher Auguste

Comte and said, “Democracy is destiny.” He noted that nearly 60 per cent of

India’s population is under the age of 30, calling it not just a statistic but

a formidable national strength.

Speaking

on the occasion, he said that a person with a small mind always goes through

the phase of jealousy, frustration and despair. He does not attain happiness in

his life. A person with a small personality does not attain bliss in life. The

talk of ultimate bliss is far away. He said that the more you expand your mind,

the amount of happiness and joy will keep increasing, the amount of bliss will

keep increasing. He said that the more you expand your mind, the more ultimate

bliss you will get.

He

said that there is no specific limit to ultimate bliss. If you want to achieve

happiness and joy in life, then always be careful not to let smallness creep

into your mind. He said that Atal Bihari Vajpayee used to say that no one can

become great with a small mind, and no one can stand with a broken heart.

He

said that most of the intelligent people in the world are using scientific

discoveries and research only for commercial gain. He said that instead of

using technology and science to improve human life, they are using it for their

own benefit. He said that company scientists are working to treat serious

diseases with the help of artificial intelligence, but the owners of those

companies sold all the research resources of those scientists to those who make

material for pleasure. He said that the problem becomes serious when we put

commercial concerns above social concerns. He said that there is a need that

technology should progress according to the needs of humanity and not just

according to the demands of the market.
