Leadership
The Minds Behind BITS
The Late Shri G.D. Birla
Founder Chairman, BITS, Pilani
"What do we propose to do here? We aim to teach real science, encompassing fields such as engineering, chemistry, humanities, physics, and any other relevant branch. We want to develop a scientific approach in Pilani, which means there would be no dogma. There will be a search for the truth. What we propose to do here is to cultivate a scientific mind."
The Late Dr. K.K. Birla
Former Chancellor, BITS, Pilani
" We aim to prepare young men and women to act as leaders for the promotion of the economic and industrial development of the country and to play a creative role in service to humanity."
Dr. Kumar Mangalam Birla
Chancellor, BITS, Pilani
"What is it that can empower our nation? The most obvious answer is education. Education that enhances livelihoods, but also education that is value-based. Education that gives roots and gives wings as well".
