Galgotias University Holds 10th Convocation Ceremony; Leaders Emphasise Resilience, Discipline, and Lifelong Learning

Addressing the graduating students, Chief Guest Dr. A. S. Kiran Kumar emphasised the importance of continuous learning in a rapidly evolving technological world. He noted that while students graduate today, the process of learning must remain lifelong. Highlighting the rapid pace of technological advancement, he urged students to stay adaptable, curious, and future-ready. He also cautioned against the growing influence of smartphones, noting that technology is increasingly shaping human behaviour, and advised students to remain aware and in control of their digital lives.

In his convocation address, the Chancellor congratulated the graduating students and reflected on the university’s journey of excellence and global recognition. He emphasised that challenges are inevitable in life but play a crucial role in shaping character and resilience. Drawing an analogy with strong trees that withstand storms and grow back stronger, he encouraged students to remain steady during difficult times and emerge stronger. He further underscored that hardships are integral to success, reiterating the timeless principle that without struggle, there is no achievement, and urged students to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

Dr. R. G. Agarwal highlighted the importance of discipline in personal and professional life, stating that consistent effort, structured thinking, and self-regulation are key to long-term success.

Padma Shri Uma Shankar Pandey delivered a thought-provoking message on water conservation, pointing out the paradox of modern society where there is limited knowledge on saving water but a vast market built around selling it. He called for greater awareness, responsibility, and sustainable practices among the younger generation.

The university also highlighted its strong placement performance for the current academic year. A large number of companies participated in campus recruitment drives, offering opportunities across emerging technology and business sectors. Prominent recruiters included Infosys, Cognizant, Accenture, EY, Capgemini, along with over 1,200 organisations associated with the university’s hiring ecosystem.
