Bhubaneswar: In a statement released to the media recently, Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), said that India’s capital markets have once again demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of global headwinds. While outlining his vision for Viksit Bharat 2047, he noted that India’s growth story is anchored in strong fundamentals, structural reforms, digitisation, and expanding domestic demand.

“India continues to advance as a global financial powerhouse,” Chauhan said. He explained that despite heightened geopolitical uncertainties, tightening monetary cycles worldwide, and volatile commodity prices, Indian stock markets remain well-anchored. This stability, he noted, comes from sustained high economic growth, one of the world’s largest savings pools, and strong, well-capitalised banking balance sheets. He also pointed to a decisive reform agenda and a rapid wave of digitisation that is deepening financial participation across the country.

Chauhan highlighted that history reinforces this confidence. Over the past three decades, India has faced and overcome several severe global shocks. These included the Asian financial crisis of the 1990s, the aftermath of 9/11, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each time, he said, India not only weathered the crisis but emerged stronger, with deeper market reforms, stronger institutions, and greater investor trust.

He further underlined that as domestic demand expands, and technological innovation reshapes industries; Indian markets are well positioned to absorb global volatility. At the same time, they continue to provide long-term stability and attractive opportunities for investors. Chauhan concluded by stating that this resilience supported by prudent regulation and strong governance ensures that India is not just navigating turbulence. Instead, the country is steadily advancing towards its vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, as a leading global economic and financial powerhouse.

In his address, the Hon’ble Governor emphasized the crucial role of higher education in realizing the vision of a developed India by 2047, as envisioned by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.

“This is an important gathering of thought leaders, educators, and nation-builders,” he said. “As we look ahead to India’s centenary of independence, the role of higher education becomes more pivotal than ever.”

Quoting Swami Vivekananda, the Governor remarked, “Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.” He stressed that universities must not merely function as knowledge factories, but as sanctuaries that nurture the inner potential of India’s youth.

India currently has over 1,100 universities and nearly 45 million students, making it one of the largest higher education ecosystems in the world. However, the Governor noted, “Our task is not just expansion, but transformation—towards quality, innovation, inclusivity, and global competitiveness.”

Highlighting the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 as a transformative roadmap, he noted its emphasis on multidisciplinary learning, digital transformation, skill development, and global engagement.

His Excellency outlined five key focus areas for transforming higher education: Global Competitiveness: Elevating Indian universities to global ranks through cutting-edge research and international collaborations.

• Skill Development & Employability: Aligning curricula with industry needs and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Equity & Inclusivity: Ensuring access to quality education for all, regardless of gender, background, or geography.
• Research & Innovation: Turning universities into engines of innovation across sectors like industry, agriculture, and healthcare.
• Value-based Education: Instilling ethics, values, and national consciousness alongside academic and technical training.

“As Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan once said, ‘The end-product of education should be a free creative man, who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities of nature.’ This is the ideal we must strive for,” the Governor said.

The Governor also praised Hyderabad as a shining example of how education, technology, and innovation can transform a region into a global hub. Telangana, he noted, has built a reputation for nurturing world-class institutions and cutting-edge research ecosystems.

Two key sessions structured the day’s deliberations: Session I: Re-imagining Indian Higher Education for Global Competitiveness and Session II: Empowering Institutions for India @ 2047

“These two themes—competitiveness and empowerment—are the twin pillars that will guide India’s higher education journey,” the Governor told the audience.

EPSI, the organizer of the event, was established with the objective of promoting, expanding, and developing the education sector in India. It works closely with government and other stakeholders to resolve critical challenges in higher education.

“India’s journey towards becoming a global knowledge superpower by 2047 hinges on how well we bridge the gap between academia and industry. Conferences like these provide the much-needed platform for collaborative thinking, policy innovation, and transformative action,” said Mr. Nirmalya Pal, Co-founder of Campusutra.com and Debrin Synergy, one of the delegates. Campusutra.com is a leading educational portal whose case study has been featured at Harvard Business Studies.
