Dehradun, October 22 (Daily Kiran) : Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami addressed the 24th convocation ceremony of UPES University on October 22, urging the youth to play a significant role in realizing India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047.

During his speech, Dhami emphasized the responsibility placed on the shoulders of the nation’s talented youth to help achieve Prime Minister Modi‘s ambitious goal. He expressed his happiness at being part of the ceremony, noting that interacting with young minds brings him renewed energy. The CM congratulated the graduating students and acknowledged the contributions of their parents and teachers.

Dhami remarked that the convocation ceremony is not just a moment to receive degrees but marks the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. He encouraged students to embrace the learning environment provided by the university, highlighting the importance of correcting mistakes and progressing forward. He cautioned that real-life challenges await them outside the campus, marking the start of their true test. Students will encounter ups and downs, and he urged them to view failures as opportunities for self-improvement rather than sources of despair.

He advised the youth to maintain a lifelong learning attitude, asserting that no one is ever completely perfect. Only those who nurture a desire to learn until the end of their lives can find satisfaction and success. The state government has been actively engaged in providing employment and opportunities through competitive exams over the past five years. As they embark on their new journeys, Dhami encouraged students to proceed with hard work, patience, and a positive mindset.

Addressing global crises and changing circumstances, the CM urged youth to take lessons from world events. He noted attempts by certain forces to destabilize elected governments and warned that there are efforts to confuse the youth in India as well. Therefore, he stressed the importance of remaining aware and vigilant.

Dhami pointed out recent instances of chaos and disrespect towards elders, urging the youth to act with discernment and responsibility in such situations. He warned that some forces would attempt to mislead them again but emphasized the need to resist such temptations.

Praising UPES University’s academic achievements, Dhami acknowledged its distinct identity in the education sector. He expressed confidence that the institution would continue to excel and bring recognition to Uttarakhand. He shared his joy when meeting people abroad who proudly identify as UPES alumni.
