During the 15th Annual Convocation at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur on April 4, 2026, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar delivered a significant address highlighting the current 'structural turbulence' in the global order. He pointed to the triple shocks of the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing conflicts in West Asia and Ukraine, and the urgent challenge of climate change as primary factors contributing to this instability. Jaishankar noted that advancements in technology, energy, and connectivity have transformed previously neutral tools into competitive instruments, leading nations to adopt strategies of 'de-risking' and 'diversification.' Despite these challenges, he expressed confidence in India's youth, emphasizing their resilience and the importance of merging technology with traditional values to enhance national capabilities. Jaishankar's message aimed to inspire the new graduates to contribute positively to the evolving world.
