            servicing  to  the  society  keeping  at  heart  the  DHYEY  SUTRA  of  your  Great  global
            University  i.e.  VIDYA  SAMAJOTKARSH.  I  know  what  this  small  Sanskrit  sentence
            means. It is Social upliftment through education, right?  Please do ever remember in
            your life.

            Dear  students,  on  this  hilarious  occasion  of  your  life,  I  would  like  to  share  my
            thoughts with you on how we can join hands and come together to shape the future
            of this amazing country and what can be done to cater to the needs of tomorrow
            with the education you have had. As you are leaving the safe and cozy environs of
            this campus, I have a set of humble advices for you guys:

            Ÿ You must have the confidence of youth in you that will keep you active, energetic
               and vibrant in your life. That will let you believe you can conquer the world.
            Ÿ What you all need to do is to follow your heart. Listen to thy inner-self. You cannot
               fail  if  you  recognize  your  inherent  strengths  and  build  upon  it.  You  will  delve,
               explore, research, learn, seek knowledge and excel.
            It is equally gladdening to know that more than 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  stood  out  by  starting  their  own  successful  business  ventures.  The
            conclusions  are  simple.  Good  relationships  keep  us  happier  and  healthier.  Spend
            more time with happy people. Try not to yield to negative perceptions on anything.
            Today, even the western countries are showing interest in India’s incredible legacy.
            Suddenly, everyone is interested in India.. And if this is happening, India will be the
            leaders of tomorrow. You will be able to compete with tomorrow’s challenges. This
            university has accepted a novel role which is to prepare the youth of Gujarat to show
            their latent potential in the face of giant corporate and thus, by virtue of their talent,
            get accepted everywhere.
            Apparently, university only awards degrees to students on convocation day, but in
            fact university, in its modern sense, prepares the youth to cope with challenges in
            life. I have been an eye-witness of the history and progress of this university and I
            feel that this university has put in great efforts to develop skills and confidence in the
            youth. Both these qualities together, backed by curiosity, will certainly help the youth
            to stand out in the world with their heads held high. Do you know what the problem
            is today? The problem today is that of getting employed. Universities should share

                                                                                           54
