Around 237 students graduated from the University from batch 2004-07. Mr T S Vijayan, Chairman, Life Insurance Corporation of India was the Chief Guest for this occasion.

Delivering his Convocation Address, Mr Vijayan said, India is today perched at a very exciting and challenging turning point. The countrys economy is growing at plus 9% and still going stronger. We are emerging as one of the global leaders on the basis of our economic fundamentals and our skilled human resources. India needs idealists who can reach out to touch the horizon. India needs persevering young ones, to sift through the maze of knowledge and data and find out ideas to transform our environment to one that is conducive for human existence.

Highlighting his 3 C framework for professionals life, Mr Vijayan said, I have always considered Challenges, Commitment and Corporate Social Responsibility important for a professional. Challenges are the take off board for your ambitions and dreams. Commitment is the nucleus for any achievement, the fundamental element to your growth as a professional and as a human being. Corporate Social Responsibilty is very important in the todays corporate world. Give back to the society, some good that, you have got from the society.
