Hon’ble Governor Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh (Retd.) attended the 9th convocation ceremony of Veer Madho Singh Bhandari Uttarakhand Technical University on Wednesday. On this occasion, he conferred degrees upon students who successfully completed undergraduate and postgraduate programs and awarded medals to meritorious students.
During the ceremony, Ms. Gunjan Bhatnagar, a B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering student from Tula’s Institute, was honored with the “Smt. Vinod Devi Agrawal Memorial Gold Medal” for securing the highest marks in the university. The Governor also inaugurated the newly constructed hostel “Ganga” on the university campus. Additionally, he released publications on AI Literacy, Smart Manufacturing, the Evora Uttarakhand Environment Guardian App, and the Centre for Indian Knowledge System.
Addressing the gathering, the Governor stated that a convocation is not merely the conferment of degrees but marks the beginning of new responsibilities and a new direction in life. He highlighted that more than 5,000 students have completed an important phase of education this year and are now stepping forward as future leaders contributing to nation-building.
He emphasized that the present era is driven by technology and urged students to develop expertise in emerging fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Metaverse, Quantum Computing, Space Technology, and Nanotechnology. He encouraged students to prepare for future challenges, embrace innovation, and strive to become job creators rather than job seekers.
Motivating the students, the Governor urged them to acknowledge the role of their parents and teachers in their success. He stressed that along with technical excellence, it is equally important to uphold human values, ethics, and sensitivity. He extended his best wishes to all students for a bright future and expressed confidence that the youth of Uttarakhand will take the state and the nation to new heights through their talent, innovation, and dedication.
On this occasion, Vice Chancellor Dr. Tripta Thakur highlighted the achievements and innovations of the university.
