Addressing the students virtually, Mr. Narayana Murthy, Founder, Infosys Limited, said, “This graduation day is the day of triumph and glory. The university has been a citadel of learning named after Late Munjal Sahab, from whom I learnt so much over the years. On this eventful day, it is worthwhile to consider how you can use your education to create an impact on society. One of the most important challenges in one’s life is to win the battle of your mind and to move on from a regressive mindset to a progressive one. It’s also necessary to stay honest and true to your profession and act fearlessly. Learn to stay humble in your moments of glory. Conveying all my best wishes to the students and I’m confident that this university will work towards building an economically strong, happy, fair and harmonious India.”
Mr. Sunil Kant Munjal, Chancellor, BMU, addressed the students and faculty at the ceremony, “We’re beyond honoured to have Mr. Narayana Murthy with us as our Chief Guest today. We’re holding this convocation in such unbelievably unique times, which have made us see the best and worst of humanity at the same time. However, even through this crisis, we can use this time as an opportunity to keep our mind open for continuous renewal of learning, unlearning and relearning. Even though you’re graduating in the most challenging times in the history of the world, the raft of opportunities available to you is like never before.”
BMU graduates will enter industry equipped with interdisciplinary learning, an approach in line with the recommendations of the NEP and considered important to the talent requirements of Enterprise 4.0
