IITians have hit a home run yet again. In the run-up to the high-profile Global IIT 2005 conference to be held between May 20 and 22 in Washington DC, the US Congress has passed a resolution which recognises and honours IIT grads in the US and the contributions that they have made to American society in every profession and discipline.
In fact, House Resolution 22, which was passed last week, goes well beyond just the IITs and is all praise for the contributions of Indian Americans to economic innovation and society generally in the US.
I proudly co-sponsored this important legislation to offer my congratulations and support to Indian Americans throughout the US for the success they have found in all professions including engineering, education, research and technology.
The Indian-American community is one of the most successful immigrant groups and has achieved success in many areas, reaching beyond just the typically expected fields of engineering and technology.
The passage of House Resolution 227 demonstrates that the House, and the country as a whole, recognises the accomplishments and the opportunities the Indian-American community offers to the nation, Bobby Jindal, the only Indian American US Congressman, who sponsored the resolution, told ET from Washington DC.
Meanwhile, the governors of the state of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia have declared May 2005 as Indian American heritage month in recognition of the contribution of IITians and Indian Americans to society in every profession and discipline in the US.
The Global IIT graduates commitment, dedication in research, innovation and promotion of trade and international co-operation between India and the State of Maryland is greatly appreciated, Governor Robert L Ehrlich said.
