The crocodiles in Powai Lake got a special mention in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on Saturday morning. Modi was invited as chief guest for the 56th convocation ceremony of graduates and postgraduates at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B).

Modi spoke about several initiatives by the current government to encourage and nurture the start-up culture seen among those passing out from the premier institute of technology. "IITians are at the forefront of so many start-ups in India. So many of them are also at the forefront of indulging in nation-building... Great ideas do not come from offices of government but in campuses like yours," said Modi.
