CONCLUSIONS

Before I wrap up, I would like to place on record our heartfelt gratitude to the Hon’ble Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States and Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur, Sri E. S. L. Narasimhan Garu, who has boosted our morale by constantly encouraging and supporting us to help our university to reach the pinnacle of success.

Words cannot express our gratitude to the Hon’ble Minister for HRD, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Sri Ganta Srinivasa Rao Garu, for his care and concern for higher education in the state in general and technical education in particular.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the distinguished Chief Guest and recipient of Honoris Causa, Prof. Bayya Yagnanarayana Garu, INSA Senior Scientist, and formerly Professor of Computer Engineering at IIT Madras, for being with us and making this event a grand success.

I profusely thank the members of the Executive Council, University Officials, Directors, Principals of constituent and affiliated colleges, teaching and non-teaching staff, students, print and electronic media and the distinguished assemblage in this auditorium for their august presence and for rendering their support in making this event happen on a grand lineage.

For the past one year, I have observed that there are new challenges ahead and a strong need for initiating appropriate processes of reform within the university. I seek the fullest cooperation and support from all segments of the university community in executing my plans and programmes to develop this university into a Centre of Academic Excellence.

Events like this cannot happen overnight. It requires meticulous planning. We are fortunate enough to have dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff in our university. Thanks are due to each and every one of them for extending his/her fullest support in taking this occasion to its zenith.

In the coming years, I would expect the University to grow up in all indices of measurement and stand up on par with institutes of national importance. As rightly said by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, “if we work and sweat for the great vision with ignited minds the transformation leading to the birth of a vibrant Developed India will take place”. The vision of our country lies in the hands of the youth. Today’s youth can move the nation with their creative ability. Hence the universities should provide the best environment and mission-oriented learning with a value-based education to them. We provide a platform to upgrade their skills to meet the future needs.

To sum up, I would once again like to congratulate all the young men and women for your meritorious achievements. I can see an overwhelming happiness in you. Now you are ready to head out into the world, equipped with a new set of credentials. ‘Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle’.

In the words of Eienstein, “Education is not the learning of facts but training of the mind to think”. I am sure the University has provided you with right education marked by upright conduct, right thinking and a thirst for excellence. I hope every one of you think properly before taking up any endeavor.

I hope you, as the alumni, will become a source of enviable pride and strength to our university and disseminate your knowledge to the needy. I wish you all a bright future and I am confident that you will strive hard for the edification of mankind.

Thanks to all of you for being with us this day, it’s been a great pleasure. Thank You Very Much.
