Namaste! Greetings and a warm
welcome to each one of you! I am truly delighted to be here with you today in
this esteemed gathering. First and foremost, I'd like to express my heartfelt
gratitude to Khwopa Engineering College and Khwopa College of Engineering for
granting me this opportunity to address a distinguished audience composed of
experts from various countries.
I extend my heartfelt
congratulations and best wishes to the entire college team for orchestrating
this highly significant event. My sincere hope is that the International
Conference on Computer, Electrical, Electronics, and Communication Technologies
will be an overwhelming success, paving the way for groundbreaking ideas and
remarkable discoveries.
Undoubtedly, this conference
represents a pivotal milestone in our ongoing journey of exploration and
innovation.
This moment also offers an
opportunity to emphasize my strong belief that our esteemed friends from
diverse fields will carry back beautiful memories from their time in Nepal.
The intensive interaction between
Nepalese students, professors, and our esteemed foreign guests throughout the
conference promises to be both productive and enlightening.
We find ourselves standing on
hallowed ground, a land steeped in ancient art, architecture, and heritage.
Bhaktapur, our gracious host, exudes an aura of ancient technology, skill, and
beauty.
Before us, the Nyatapola Temple, a
five-storey temple that has proudly endured for over three centuries despite
the challenges of numerous earthquakes, stands as a testament to the
extraordinary knowledge, skill, and technology of 17th-18th century Nepal. This
temple, constructed within a mere seven months, epitomizes the remarkable
capabilities of our ancestors, who laid the strong foundation for science and
technology in Nepalese society.
The imposing bronze bell in
Layaku, as well as the countless smaller bells scattered throughout the valley,
serve as powerful reminders of the advanced communication technology of ancient
times. Drums, too, played a vital role in communication. Today, we find
ourselves in an era of unprecedented interconnectivity, where communication has
reached new heights.
We can proudly assert that we had
a solid foundation in science, skill, and technology. The Kathmandu Valley,
during its golden era, supported other states by dispatching architects and
scientists to assist in building monuments.
Araniko, a name we hold in great
esteem, was not just an artist but also a scientist, engineer, and architect.
In the 12th century, he journeyed to China, where he contributed to the
construction of the White Pagoda and other remarkable structures in Beijing.
Regrettably, this momentum did not persist with the changing times, and we fell
behind in modern science and technology. However, the current generation shows
promise as it learns from past mistakes and societal slowdowns.
Let us not forget the innovative
creation of JuJu Dhau, or king curd, which marks another notable scientific
achievement in human history.
Today, the world is in the midst
of an unparalleled technological revolution. The rapid advancement of science
and technology has opened up numerous avenues of possibilities and
opportunities.
In the
history of humanity, science and technology have never reached the heights they
have today. Advanced technology is driving progress across almost every aspect
of our lives and society. A better life, improved lifestyle, and a more
advanced society have become attainable; all thanks to the miraculous strides
in computer, electrical, electronics, and communications technologies.
We must recognize that modern
science and technology have not only brought changes and developments but also
challenges and setbacks. We hold the hope that the shadows will eventually
dissipate, leaving behind a world filled with peace, progress, and prosperity,
with technology as its strong backbone. The world people are waiting for new
tech-revolutions, not tech-wars!
In conclusion, I offer my
heartfelt best wishes for the resounding success of this conference and its
continued legacy in the future. Thank you!
