            Ganpat  University  will  make  a  significant  contribution  to  the  efforts  of  the
            Government in this direction by getting the name Sawai and Gaurav in the courses of
            Agriculture from the name it has got in technical education. .
            I  am  very  much  happy  to  know  the  working  and  progress  of  KVK  of  Ganpat
            University  which  has  been  meeting  the  needs  of  farmers  of  our  Mehsana  district
            since the year 2005 providing need based short term and long term training courses
            both  on  campus  and  off  campus  for  scientific  farming  through  supervised
            Agricultural-projects. It also enables rural women by providing training facilities for
            home making and nutrition education as well as home draft and cottage industries. I
            was equally happy when I came to know that Ganpat University is initiating a new
            course on Agricultural Science and Research under the umbrella of IASR. (Institute
            of Agricultural Science and Research). It’s a great moment of my proud privilege to
            know that a Glorious citizen of North Gujarat and USA based donor Smt. KANTABEN
            KASHIRAMDAS PATEL has announced to donate Rs. 5 Crore for the establishment
            of the same institute.  It is a great moment of pride for me to know that they have
            announced a donation of 5 crore. I salute the donor and her family. The donor, her
            family and Ganapatbhai even while living in the United States, keep on thinking  of
            their contribution to the development of the country. And I acknowledge that such
            efforts by all of you increase our enthusiasm to work in the government as well.
            As  I  am  presently  working  under  the  proficient  leadership  of  our  visionary  Prime
            Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi, and I know for sure that our Prime Minister has
            some  special  interest  and  affection  for  the  further  progress  of  Ganpat  University.
            When  he  thinks  of  the  education  sector  of  our  Gujarat,  he  always  mentions  the
            exemplary  progress  of  this  university.  We  are  fortunate  that  the  present  Prime
            Minister  of  our  country  is  from  one  of  us.  I  still  remember  that  he  has  always
            considered it his top priority when something is related to Ganpat University when
            we happen to talk. . I am very happy that you are all-together striving very hard to
            land  this  university  at  the  prime  pinnacle  of  success.  Let  me  know  how  I  can  be
            helpful to you…? Please do not hesitate to approach my office gentlemen for any help
            from  my  departments  for  the  development  of  IASR.  I  wish  you  best  luck  for  the
            same.
            Let me come back to the young faces in front of me…

            It’s my deep feeling to witness this very stunning event of the 15th Convocation of
            this prestigious University which is a landmark day in itself in your life. Having stayed
            for  many  years  here  on  this  academic  premise,  as  you  are  leaving  this  wonderful
            academic environment, for further accomplishment of your dreams and aspirations,
            a blend of emotional flow and a wave of excitement and a fresh energy would be
            brimming  in  your  minds  and  hearts.  Indian  culture  has  this  very  tradition  for
            centuries  together,  where,  I  have  happened  to  read  that  Gurus  used  to  host

                                                                                           72
