After the award of Medals, the Chief Guest Shri R. K. Upadhyay delivered his convocation address is which he emphasized on the need for continuous learning and that even after the award of Post Graduate Diploma in Management, the awardees must focus on improvement by learning from the life and work experiences and converting their learning into knowledge and wisdom. He said that the students should consider themselves lucky as a majority of countrymen do not have access to the specialized education and this may be at the cost of a large population which is deprived of even two – square meals. He said that the new managers have to perform from the word go in the dynamic business world and they are expected to be problem solving leaders. The Chief Guest concluded his speech by mentioning that God has created everyone with a purpose and he has left it to each one of them to seek and attain that purpose.
