The 69th Independence day was celebrated with fanfare on 15th August 2015 at Periyar Government Arts College, Cuddalore-1

Presidential Address by  Dr.V.N.Viswanathan, 

Principal, Periyar Government Arts College 

            The Indian Prime Minister’s motto of “Make in India” has led  India to the pinnacle of progress and accordingly India’s development by leaps and bounds is certain. India holds the 142^nd position among the countries of the world with the potential for production.

            If we wish to reach the 50^th position within the next five years it is incumbent upon us to increase our production by five times. I propose two methods for improving our production:

            1. To make automative machines at a low cost.

            2. To market efficiently the goods produced.

            The entrepreneurs would whole-heartedy welcome innovative efforts making use of new technology for the production of goods. A country that claims to have the necessarry potential for production must charter a clearcut industrial policy and must adopt methods for achieving optimum production.

            India’s exemplary growth in the field of Information Technology was not merely an accident. The field of Electronics developed a healthy competition  in goods production and adopted the correct industrial policy which was the main reason for the enormous success in the IT field. However, India faces a setback in the production of goods which need simple skills. Paradoxically, we are easily able to carryout production of goods involving great difficulty.

            In today’s competetive economy India has shown great penchant in the production general goods, petrol and diesel cars and its components.

            It is necessary on our part to increase the industrial production of goods by using novel techniques in the industrial field in which we are in the forefront. For example, if the fields of defence, software,  electronic goods, construction sector, health safety and industries related to agriculture unanimously unite and adopt relavant methods we would defenetly overtake all other countries in the global, commercial challenge.

            As far as Cuddalore district is concerned our focus should be on the conservation of environment and development of agriculture-oriented industrial units. By increasing sugarcane cultivation through new technological methods sugar production can be increased. In the seashore areas development of industrial units for the proper preservation of fish will enhance foreign exchange. We need to use new methods for preservation of fish and there by increase fish export. Ways and means have to be found for making the cash crops of Cuddalore like cashew and sugarcane reach the world market.

            Adequate human resources have not been utilized for the production of software in Cuddalore. Hence an IT park has to be established in Cuddalore so as to attract software engineers and software investors.

            In the field of higher education the colleges and universities have to foster world class research projects on this happy occasion of our independence day we humbly request the government of Tamil Nadu to establish a State University which promotes the highest research aptitude in Cuddalore District.
