I also take this opportunity to congratulate the President and Patron-in-Chief of the
University Shri Ganpatbhai Patel, for the Honorary Doctorate by his Alma Mater,
California State University (CSU) Pomona (USA), for his remarkable commitment to

single largest donation in Education by an Individual in the country. Ganpatbhai, May
I know which divine power keeps you encouraged to keep doing such noble deeds of
humanity?
I have also patiently listened to the progress of the university during the year 2022. I
am deeply pleased to hear that university is taking fast-track speed like that of a
CHITAH and I am sure that if the same speed is maintained, the university shall be
ranked among the top 10 in India and abroad in coming years.

group of students. It's a great experience to be a part of the 16th Convocation

Convocation is a consecrated event as it commits us to build a better country, better

devotion, commitment, and enthusiasm are rewarded. Being called on the stage for
holding that prestigious convocation directory is the dream of every student which
boosts their self-confidence and
sense of worth. This ceremony
is known to be the capstone of a
student's entire educational
experience which denotes the
challenger of more responsibility
and maturity. These degrees
and diplomas present you to
society as an acclaimed
knowledgeable person of your
area of study. Now you should
