Text of the Vice President’s speech – 37th Convocation of Indira Gandhi National Open University
Remember, friends, true progress lies not in conforming, but in daring to be different. It lies in following your passion, in charting your own course, and in leaving your unique mark on the world.
Look at history, the future belongs to those who dare to dream beyond the ordinary. So, friends, as you step into this new chapter, I urge you: embrace your individuality, pursue your passions, and redefine success on your own terms.
My dear students, Bharat eagerly awaits your contributions, your new perspectives, and your innovative ideas. Believe in yourself and your capabilities.
I can assure you , I can ensure your capability, competency and academic accomplishments and your knowledge is the best in the world.
I see the destiny of Bharat in your eyes. You are the most significant stakeholder in the governance and rise of Bharat, and you will shape Bharat what it will be in 2047. You are the most significant stakeholders and you have to ensure that the growth trajectory of our development which is continually incremental is not only sustained but is taken to greater heights.
I encourage each and every one of you to be fearless in the pursuit of your dreams. Do not let your mind become a parking place for doubts and insecurities.
Instead, let it be a platform for your imagination and creativity. Remember, some of the greatest innovations and breakthroughs have come from individuals who dared to think differently, who fearlessly challenged the status quo.
Do not be afraid of failure, for it is the stepping stone to success. Let it be a catalyst for growth and self-discovery.
Together, let us build an Amrit Kaal where every dream takes flight, and where the true potential of our youth illuminates the path to a brighter tomorrow.
Congratulations, and may your journeys be filled with purpose, passion, and fulfilment!
Jai Hind.
