Jharkhand news : President of India Droupadi Murmu delivered a strong message on success, social responsibility, and nation-building at the 15th convocation ceremony of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jamshedpur. She said that reaching high positions alone does not define success; true success lies in bringing positive change to the lives of ordinary people through knowledge and work.
Addressing the graduating students, the President said that NIT Jamshedpur has been contributing to excellence in science and technology for the past 65 years and has produced engineers who have enhanced India’s global reputation. She congratulated all 1,114 degree recipients and emphasized that the convocation marks not only the celebration of academic achievement but also the beginning of new responsibilities towards the nation.
President Murmu described students as nation builders and said educational institutions are not merely degree-awarding centers but intellectual laboratories that shape future thinking. She urged students to use their skills and knowledge for national development and human welfare. Highlighting the misuse of technology, including cyber fraud, she expressed hope that institutions like NIT would develop innovative solutions to such challenges.
She also reminded students to remain grateful to their parents and teachers. The President congratulated Swami Govind Dev Giri, who received an honorary Doctor of Literature degree, and industrialist Ravindra Kumar Behera, who was awarded an honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree.
Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar, addressing the ceremony, recalled the legacy of Jamsetji Tata and Ratan Tata, stating that they gave equal importance to industrial growth, education, healthcare, and human dignity.
