Amaravati: Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu has been recognised among Purdue University's prestigious '38 Under 38' achievers.
Sharing his happiness over the recognition, Ram Mohan Naidu said the honour brought back fond memories of his student days at Purdue University in the United States.
He recalled that he had never imagined receiving such an award when he was pursuing his course at the university. The '38 Under 38' recognition was instituted in honour of Neil Armstrong, who made history by becoming the first person to walk on the Moon at the age of 38.
The minister said the recognition was deeply emotional as it reminded him of campus conversations, friendships and late-night walks around West Lafayette.
He added that his journey at Purdue did not end with his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree in 2008, as the university experience continues to shape his thinking, approach to challenges and responsibilities.
Ram Mohan Naidu expressed gratitude to Purdue University for providing him with global exposure, cross-cultural friendships and the confidence to take on challenges.
He also thanked Professor Vijay Raghunathan, Vice President and University Ambassador to India at Purdue University, for nominating him for the honour.
Concluding his post, the minister said, "Once a Boilermaker, always a Boilermaker!"
