New opportunities for innovation, leadership: PM launches AI initiatives at IIT Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched new AI initiatives at IIT Delhi, describing them as major opportunities for innovation, leadership, and future-ready entrepreneurship. Addressing graduates at the institute’s 57th Convocation, he urged them to focus on solving complex national challenges rather than limiting their ambitions to salaries, placements, or conventional career paths. Modi said the real test of life is “out of syllabus,” requiring curiosity, resilience, independent thinking, and the courage to discover new solutions. He highlighted India’s growing opportunities in technology, research, semiconductors, drones, startups, and self-reliance while encouraging graduates to contribute meaningfully to national development.
