I still remember a time when the world didn’t fit in the palm of my hand. An entire generation today has no recollection of that. The world is suddenly very small, and yet the possibilities are limitless. Technology has allowed learning to be truly boundless. Nothing is out of reach anymore. Information, knowledge, instruction – every aspect of learning is now just a click or a tap away. And it is an extremely liberating experience.

Although typing is probably the more appropriate term, but you must forgive an old man’s affinities. What I am trying to assert is that today technology is poised to ensure that India truly embraces its status as the world’s largest democracy. Because technology powers knowledge, and empowered by knowledge every individual is equal.

So, as an alumnus I am proud to see my alma mater embrace the digital age. As the country gains a firm foothold in the technology landscape, I am sure that Saint Xavier High School will endow the new generation of students with every skill they need to fully embrace the possibilities that the future presents.
