It is a great honour to me to have been invited to this institution to speak to you young minds. I was very impressed by the physical infrastructure and the academic atmosphere at the college. I have visited various institutions and universities in India and abroad. The ambience here is outstanding. If I had not come here I would have missed an opportunity to see one of the best colleges in this part of the country.

Be true to the oath you have taken and be a good citizen of the country. I am happy to see you ready to face the challenges of the world today. Education is a liberating and accelerating experience that trains our minds to grow, to explore, to empower and enrich itself so that we not only evolve as human beings but as thinking and conscious members of the society which we live in. Our responsibilities are not just economic benefits and advancement of the self alone, the many ills that plague our society are such individual ambitions and vision and these are to be corrected. Each one of us has to be steady in these times of change, of violence, of intolerance and of story silence of spiritual death. It is only when we overcome these challenges that this country will truly develop to what it aspires as an economic and political leader, but also as a spiritual reckoner to the world. There is great responsibility my dear friends that each passing generation lays on the young shoulder of the graduates like you with hope and prayers, that their ideals will be matured to great strength and not reduce to be the relics of the bygone era. I hope your education have made you realize this and equipped you to face the challenges of the world.
