TH
15 CONVOCATION
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
dialogues with the government reflecting on issues like where and how the youth
can be employed. I am glad that you have understood the industrial developments
taking place in the state and the country under the visionary leadership of Padma
Shri Ganpatbhai Patel. It is possible that someone from you may become a noble
laureate or a person having scientific temperament. I insist that you also do
something accountable which may lead us to honor you in the future.

On this occasion, once again, I heartily congratulate you upon receiving your
degrees. Life is truly precious. The thing that matters is what you can do for your
nation. I hope you will not forget the teachers who have guided you throughout your
life. Respect those who dedicate themselves for the society, who spend a hefty
portion of their hard-earned money over the development of the country. Always
strive hard to establish peace and prosperity and see to it that people live in
harmony. True education is the education which makes a person even better. I
earnestly wish that when you leave this pious atmosphere and enter society, you will
outshine others with your character, your hard work and your desire to serve the
nation. Cherish the freedom, the independence, the hope, the diversity. Respect
these aspects, guard them fiercely. Be proud of the nation, of the university, of your
job, of yourself. Make your parents and loved ones proud of you even as you realize
your ambitions.

With this, once again, I thank you very much for inviting me to witness this mega
event and providing me an opportunity to share my best wishes and compliments to
the latest graduating brigade of Ganpat University.

I think that is more than sufficient and I take your consent to conclude my speech by
wishing all the best to the students over and over again for their shining career and
limitless happiness in life.

God’s limitless blessings for you all

Good luck , best wishes and Jay Hind!
