Shimla: Governor Kavinder Gupta today called upon young graduates to utilise their knowledge, skills and education to bring positive social change and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
Addressing the 12th Convocation of Career Point University (CPU), Hamirpur, he emphasised the importance of connecting academic learning with societal needs and national development. A total of 648 students were awarded degrees at the ceremony, including 43 research scholars who received Ph.D. degrees, while 43 meritorious students, comprising 29 girls and 14 boys, were honoured with gold medals.
Addressing the graduates, the Governor said, ‘Success should not be measured merely by a good salary, position or recognition. Its real value lies in the positive difference knowledge and actions make in the lives of others and in the progress of the nation.’ He urged students to remain connected with their villages, culture and roots while using their education to address societal challenges.
The Governor also released the university’s annual report, unveiled a book on millets and felicitated winners of the Millet Festival. Vice-Chancellor Dr. Sanjeev Sharma presented the university’s progress report, while Pro-Chancellor Padma Shri Dr. P.L. Gautam welcomed the Governor. Kuldeep Dhiman and Dr. D.S.
