In a moment of academic triumph and visionary reflection, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, VK Saxena, presided over the 13th Convocation of Dr. BR Ambedkar University (AUD), a day that marked not only the completion of a significant chapter for the graduating students but also the beginning of new journeys toward societal impact. The ceremony was graced by the esteemed presence of former Chief Justice of India, Justice (Retd) Dipak Misra, whose wisdom and insight added depth to the occasion.
As the students stood on the cusp of their future, Saxena offered heartfelt congratulations, acknowledging their hard work and perseverance in earning their degrees. “This is not just a piece of paper, but a testament to your resilience, dedication, and intellect,” he said, urging the graduates to aim high and contribute meaningfully to society. Saxena’s words were filled with hope as he encouraged the young minds to foster inclusivity, embrace innovation, and intervene with purpose in the world around them.
“It is heartening to see the growth of AUD over the last five years,” he remarked, noting with pride that the student population had nearly doubled during this period. The growth in numbers is a reflection of the university’s expanding influence and its commitment to providing quality education to a broader segment of society.
In his address, Saxena also emphasized the need for equality and excellence within academic institutions. He exhorted the management, faculty, and staff of AUD to continue fostering an environment where all students, regardless of background, have access to the same opportunities. “You must not only expand access to education but also set ‘Gold Standards’ for research and quality in our institutions,” he asserted. This vision of inclusivity, paired with a commitment to academic rigor, will help ensure that the university continues to lead by example in the higher education landscape.
The Lieutenant Governor also took a moment to recognize the unsung heroes behind the students’ success—their families, teachers, and mentors. “Congratulations to the Vice Chancellor, the dedicated faculty members, and, most importantly, the parents whose sacrifices and support have shaped the futures of these bright young minds,” he said, his voice filled with appreciation for the collective effort that went into their academic journeys.
As the ceremony concluded, Saxena’s final words were full of optimism and encouragement: “I wish each and every one of you the very best in your future endeavors. Remember, this is just the beginning. Go forward with confidence, and make a difference.”
With the day’s celebrations drawing to a close, the graduates left the convocation hall filled with dreams of their future contributions to society. The vision set forth by the Lieutenant Governor, combined with the wisdom of former Chief Justice Misra, had sparked a renewed sense of purpose in their hearts—a purpose that would continue to guide them as they embarked on the next chapter of their lives.
