It is most important to remember that each of you is here today because of the faith someone has reposed in you by presenting you with the gift of education. They could be your parents, teacher, sibling or mentors. And I think while we are here to cheer you all, you should take a moment to thank the people behind your success. A sense of gratitude will take you a long way in life. When you entered these premises, you entered as a Vidyarthi (student) and you leave as a Vidvan (wise person) who will be respected everywhere.

As you step out into the real world, you must remember the words of Nelson Mandela, who said, ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’ You possess the power to change the world around you. You are the future leaders and visionaries. I urge you all to embrace failure, learn from your mistakes but never leave sight of your goal.”
