            us. I am particularly glad upon hearing his story. Ganpatbhai, a native of Bhunav, North-
            Gujarat, who settles in America and excels in Electronics by dint of his sheer hard work

            and dedication to earn global reputation, is in fact a casestudy for all of us. The youth
            born here on this noble land of India and Gujarat should learn from the life of Ganpatbhai
            and it is truly commendable that Ganpatbhai has reached great heights of success
            after a lot of struggles, trials and tribulations. I believe that perhaps Ganpat University is
            the only instance where the university bears the name of a living person. We have
            gathered here amid such a historic contribution by Ganpatbhai. Being in the same

            society, the same university and the same state, we should make conscious efforts to
            find  answers  to  questions  pertaining  to  our  society,  state  and  nation.  Only  those
            institutions can develop a robust society which can answer these questions or enable
            and empower the students to find the answers on their own. It is truly a pleasant and
            fortunate  coincidence  that  this  convocation  is  witnessing  the  presence  of  both

            Ganpatbhai and Anilbhai. I feel immense pride in stating that it is the hidden humane
            interest  of  people  like  Ganpatbhai,  Anilbhai  and  other  such  donors  that  education




                          Knowledge is essential to life. Lord Krishna has given as
                                much importance to knowledge as to karma.





            should be accessible to everyone and it should help one become self-reliant. I am to
            know that Ganpat university has been able to fulfil its primary objective of 'Upliftment of
            Society Through Education' within a very short span of time.

            It is equally gladdening to know that approximately 25000 students have received their
            higher education from Ganpat University and many among them have been serving at
            higher positions in some of the world's reputed companies. There are also those who
            have outstood by starting their own successful business ventures.

            It is a matter of deep appreciation that looking at the requirement of today's industrial
            world, Ganpat University is dedicated to providing diligent, skilled and able manpower to
            industries. To do this, Ganpat University has signed MoUs with companies like IBM, e-
            infochip, IL & FS, NSE (National Stock Exchange), Karcher and Maruti Suzuki  as part of the

            same, special courses are run under Engineering Management and Computer Science.
