Reaching the 25-year milestone is a moment for both celebration and reflection. The Silver Jubilee of BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus marks an important chapter in our journey, shaped by vision, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to academic excellence. It is a proud occasion for the entire BITS community and an opportunity to acknowledge everyone who has contributed to this remarkable story.When it was established in 2000, the Dubai Campus signaled a bold step forward in globalising Indian higher education. As our first international campus, it carried with it the core values of BITS – merit, integrity, and excellence – and applied them in a new context.Over the past two and a half decades, BPDC has grown into a vibrant academic hub. With more than 6,500 graduates, strong industry linkages, and a culture of innovation and experiential learning, the campus has created an ecosystem that is both rigorous and relevant to the global landscape.This Silver Jubilee is not just about looking back. It is also a moment to look ahead. With a sharper focus on interdisciplinary learning, sustainability, digital transformation, and impactful research, the Dubai Campus is well placed to lead in the years to come.My sincere appreciation to the faculty, staff, alumni, students, and partners who have helped build this institution. The success of BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus is a collective achievement and a testament to what shared vision and dedication can accomplish.On behalf of the leadership at BITS Pilani, I congratulate the Dubai Campus community. May the next twenty-five years be marked by even greater achievements and deeper impact..Fellow of IEEE, TWAS, INAE, INSA, IASc, NASI; Group Vice Chancellor and Senior Professor BITS PilaniPilani | Dubai | Goa | Hyderabad | Mumbai
