He said, \u201cNecessity is, of course, the mother of invention. It is also the mother of learning and change. Mr. Shibulal also emphasized the need for collective action that enables reusability and sharing of resources and knowledge between geographies. He added, \u201cOur problems are very local \u2013 language, beliefs, culture. What works in one state may not work in another. However, at the same time, if these solutions are contextualized, they could be reused. It was such a pleasure and a wonderful moment for ISBR to have him for convocation. He not only gave motivation to the attendees but also showed a glimpse of the outside world through his words.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D.
