IMF applauds and endorses Andhra Pradesh’s model of investing in human capital, asks other states to emulate
On their second last day in the United States of America, the Andhra Pradesh student delegation got an exceptional opportunity to visit the International Monetary Fund at Washington DC and interact and engage with the awe-inspiring leadership team including IMF Deputy Managing Director Ms Gita Gopinath and IMF Executive Director for India Mr K Subramanian (former chief economic advisor)
While Mr Subramanian inspired the students to believe in themselves, work hard and eventually give back to the country, Ms Gopinath asked the kids to follow their dreams and be passionate in whatever they decided to pursue.
The visit organised entirely by the AP Government’s Education Department with the aim of providing a stupendous global platform to children, proved to be an excellent opportunity for them to gain insights into the workings of international financial institutions and learn from accomplished individuals who have achieved remarkable success in their respective fields.
During their meeting with K Subramanian, the students were privileged to receive guidance and tips on how to be successful in life. Mr. Subramanian’s personal success story, rising through the ranks to become a prominent figure at IMF, served as a true inspiration for the young minds. His words of wisdom and valuable insights have left an indelible impact on the students, encouraging them to strive for excellence and dream big.
Similarly, the interaction with Gita Gopinath was a truly transformative experience for the students. Ms. Gopinath, hailing from a humble background, shared her remarkable journey of hard work and passion that led her to become the first-ever Deputy Managing Director at IMF. Her words resonated deeply with the students, instilling in them the belief that with determination and perseverance, they too can achieve great heights.
This visit to the United States has not only broadened the horizons of the students but has also ignited a spark within them to encourage their peers to dream big. The awe-inspiring stories and interactions with accomplished individuals like K Subramanian and Gita Gopinath will undoubtedly serve as a catalyst for the students to inspire and motivate their friends to pursue their dreams relentlessly.
The Chief Minister’s Office of Andhra Pradesh extends its sincere gratitude to K Subramanian and Gita Gopinath for their invaluable contributions in shaping the aspirations of our young leaders. Their guidance and inspiration will continue to resonate within the hearts and minds of the students, empowering them to strive for excellence and make a positive impact on society.
