Honored to participate in the National Conference on Rare Earths and Electric Vehicles organized by Engineering Staff College of India (ESCI) at Gachibowli, Hyderabad on World Earth Day, 22nd April 2026.
It was a privilege to share the platform with Hon’ble Minister for Mines & Geology, Govt. of Telangana, Sri Gaddam Vivek Venkatswamy Garu, who addressed the conference and shared valuable insights on the role of critical minerals in India’s technological future.
The conference brought together policymakers, industry experts, and engineers to deliberate on the future of rare earths, the EV ecosystem, and sustainable development in India.
As Chairman, CVDB, The Institution of Engineers (India), I believe such dialogues are vital to align engineering expertise with national priorities. Sustainable growth demands both innovation and responsible resource management.
My sincere thanks to ESCI for hosting this prestigious event on World Earth Day - a reminder that engineering must serve both progress and the planet.
