Mashelkar Former DG, CSIR and President Global Research Alliance 3rd Floor, Adams Court Baner, Pune 411 045 Message I want to begin by congratulating the graduands of the day. This is a very special day in your life. When our generation graduated, India was a third world country. When you are graduating, everyone expects India to be the third most powerful country in the world. And my friends, it is you, who will be charged with building this great future of our great nation. You all are also entering a world, which is exciting as well as challenging. I say challenging, since we realize that we are living in a VUCA world, which is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. They say that institutions can’t build the future of the young, but they can build the young for the future. You are fortunate that ITM University, Gwalior, has equipped you fully with skills and tools to deal with this challenge most confidently. Sd/- (Dr. R.A.

It is also the time for all the students to express gratitude towards their parents and teachers who have been a constant source of inspiration and support in shaping their career. On this important graduation ceremony, I would like to encourage all my dear students to set very high standards for themselves and strive to achieve them, give away short-term comfort for long-term benefits, live a life of pride and self- satisfaction and actively exchange ideas, as good idea has wings that flies at the speed of light. I am confident that the Vision under which this University is founded will inspire all young graduates and transform them into leading professionals and scientists to steer India as world leader and rule the Knowledge Society.
