Mandya, 15: “For a united, great, and developed India, students must contribute to the goals of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Made in India’ and work towards making our nation truly self-reliant,” said Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot.

He was addressing the gathering at the 3rd Convocation Ceremony of Mandya University. Congratulating the graduating students, he said, “This is one of the most significant milestones in your life. On this proud occasion, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the students and express gratitude to the faculty, administrative staff, and parents who have played a pivotal role in your journey.”

The Governor underlined the importance of education in shaping an individual’s future. “Education refines skills and empowers individuals in their chosen fields. It is a wealth that cannot be stolen and should remain a lifelong pursuit. Knowledge and continued learning will be the key to your success.”

Domains like artificial intelligence, data science, sustainable development, and entrepreneurship are reshaping our lives. Stay informed and be prepared to embrace innovation.”
