‘Youth have historic opportunity to shape India’s growth’

A total of 408 students from eight UG and two PG programs were conferred degrees. Marking a significant academic milestone, KCLAS students of the UG (2021-24) and PG (2022-24) courses have secured 27 University ranks, including four gold medals, across multiple disciplines.

Speaking at the event, Rajan R. Navani, Chairman & Managing Director of Jetline Group of Companies said, “Youth have historic opportunity to shape India’s growth”.

Mr. Navani emphasised the unprecedented opportunities available to the youth of today. “Never in the history of mankind has a country of 1.4 billion people transformed itself from a developing to a developed country in a democratic way,” he stated, and urged the graduates to leverage their interdisciplinary education to drive change. He pointed to the rising “Orange Economy” as an area of opportunity where young Indians are generating significant economic value and influencing global mindsets through platforms like the creator economy, e-sports, and digital entertainment.

He also addressed the anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence, reminding students of the unparalleled power of the human mind. “AI marks the end of the information generation, but has rekindled the creative generation,” he observed and stressed that tapping into human intuition and creativity is essential to ensuring that “man will have control over machine.”

Addressing at the ceremony, Shri Shankar Vanavarayar, president, Kumaraguru Institutions, called upon the graduating batch to become the architects of new India.

Mr. Vanavarayar urged the students to embrace four core pillars as they step into the real world. “Have the courage to do phenomenal things in this pivotal phase for India. Show compassion to ensure millions who lacked your opportunities are taken along. Build a character that lasts forever, and remain curious to become both deep and broad-minded individuals,” he said.
