He was delivering the 36th Convocation address  of the Mangalore University held at the Mangala Auditorium   of the University  on February 26, Monday. Prof Suresh  said  there was need to strike a balanced development  between technology and humanism at a time when the nation  was undergoing a fourth industrial revolution.  The three earlier industrial revolutions while creating ample employment opportunities have also snatched the livelihood of many. Caution must be exercised to ensure the industrial revolution does not cause negative impact on the society, he said.
