Judiciary, space at centre of IIT-B's last day of Techfest

IIT-B Techfest 2024 concluded with a series of events that highlighted innovation, creativity, and intellectual discourse. The highlight of the last day was former Chief Justice of India NV Ramana's thought-provoking address, urging a collective focus on technological advancements and systemic reforms to strengthen the Indian judiciary.

In his speech, Justice Ramana lauded IIT-B for its contributions to Indian society, particularly in fostering scientific innovation and producing eminent scientists. He invoked the iconic opening lines of Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." and drew a parallel between the dualities described in the book and the current state of India, highlighting the stark contrast between urban affluence and rural deprivation.
