“Think about two values of Courage and Sacrifice to become a good and great leader. You will succeed If you have courage and are ready for sacrifice”, Revanth Reddy said
HYDERABAD, OCTOBER 20, 2024: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy stressed the pivotal role that the students of the Indian School of Business (ISB) play as ‘brand ambassadors’ for Hyderabad, Telangana and the vision of New India.
Participating as chief guest at the ISB Leadership Summit held at the campus on Sunday, the Chief Minister said that all the ISB students are young, intelligent and possess exceptional leadership qualities. He urged the students to embrace courage and sacrifice as key values of leadership.
Stating that he drew inspiration from the Congress party has a legacy of glorious leaders. Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narasimha Rao, and Manmohan Singh, he said that courage is of utmost importance for every great leader. Apart from intelligence, skill and hard work, luck is also important. Should take risks to do great things. No one will achieve without taking risks, he added.
“Great leaders are always ready to sacrifice. Sometimes, we lose many things in the struggle. India’s great leaders and Congress leaders sacrificed their careers, money, comforts, freedom and also their lives for the sake of the people. Firstly, think about two great values of Courage and Sacrifice to become a good and great leader. You will succeed If you have courage and are ready for sacrifice”, he maintained.
He also advised the students to always maintain direct contact with people. Give equal respect to the poor, rich, young and old and mingle with them as friends. We can achieve anything if we are in contact with people. My aim is to make Telangana a “Trillion Dollar” economy. Hyderabad needs to be developed as a 600 billion dollar City to achieve the goals of a trillion dollar economy. Need ISB help to promote the Telangana State in every part of the world”, he stated.
Appealing to ISB students to discuss with investors, businessmen and common people about Telangana and Hyderabad during visit to other places, he said that my aim is that Hyderabad should compete with cities like New York, London, Paris, Tokyo and Seoul and not alone with other cities in the country. The big goal is to promote India and Hyderabad as the best destinations for investments in the world.
My government is willing to work with ISB for two to three years. We may not offer big salaries but give good opportunities and big challenges. The State Government established a skill university. Setting up Sports University in Gachibowli. Visited Sports University in South Korea. A small country like South Korea won many medals in the Olympic Games. India could not achieve a single gold medal in the Olympics. My goal is to win medals in the Olympics. My idea is to make Hyderabad a role model for the country, he stated.
