Girls Sweep 130 of 163 Gold Medals at Cluster University Convocation
JAMMU : Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday called upon graduating students to become creators of opportunities, uphold ethical values and contribute meaningfully towards building a developed India by 2047.
Addressing the first convocation of Cluster University of Jammu, Sinha described the graduating students as pioneers who would lay the foundation of the university’s academic legacy. He congratulated the graduates, gold medallists and their parents for their achievements.
Highlighting women’s remarkable performance, the Lieutenant Governor said that 130 of the 163 gold medals awarded at the convocation had gone to female students, describing it as a significant milestone in women’s empowerment and educational progress.
Emphasising the changing role of technology, he said that while technology determines what can be achieved, humanities provide the wisdom to understand what ought to be done. He stressed that artificial intelligence should complement human intelligence and remain guided by ethical values, compassion and accountability.
Urging young people to look beyond conventional career aspirations, Sinha said India’s demographic dividend should be viewed as a responsibility to society. He encouraged graduates to embrace lifelong learning, develop entrepreneurial thinking and use their knowledge to address real-world challenges.
He also called upon students to remain committed to honesty, courage and social responsibility, stressing that academic qualifications must be accompanied by strong character.
