Rather, let it be measured by the impact you make upon the lives of others and the legacy you leave upon the records of history. Cultivate a thirst for knowledge that knows no bounds, nurture a spirit of compassion that transcends borders, and embrace future challenges with unwavering resolve. Be disciplined, read the Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, and find time to absorb its life lessons”. He concluded his speech by congratulating the students.
After the inspiring words by Honorable Sri Manoj Gaur Ji, Honorable Governor and Chancellor of JUIT, Sri Shiv Pratap Shukla Ji, delivered his convocation speech. He started his speech with the quote by Arnold H. Glasow, “Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.” He mentioned that convocation is more than a ceremony; it is a rite of passage. It signifies the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. He urges the graduates to be at the forefront of this transformative era, equipped with the skills and knowledge to make significant contributions in the development of the country. He also talked about the National Education Policy (NEP) and praised JUIT for shaping students into the individual who they are today. He concluded his speech by congratulating students, wishing them good luck and quoting golden words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Embrace your inner strength, step forward with confidence, make a meaningful difference, and let your light continue to shine brightly.
