Assam Don Bosco University celebrated its 15th Convocation Ceremony with great enthusiasm and solemnity, marking a significant milestone in the academic journey of the graduating students and the continued growth of the university. The Hon’ble Governor of Assam, Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest and delivered the presidential address.
Addressing the graduating students, the Governor highlighted the immense potential of India’s youth and their vital role in shaping the future of the nation. Focusing on the vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India), he observed that the country’s transformation depends significantly on a generation of young people who are educated, skilled, responsible and committed to the common good.
The Governor encouraged the graduates to look beyond academic qualifications and to use their knowledge and skills for the advancement of society. He emphasised that education carries with it a responsibility to contribute meaningfully to the nation and to become agents of positive change in their respective fields.
A significant part of his address focused on the growing achievements of women in education, leadership and professional life. Referring particularly to the progress of women in Northeast India, Shri Acharya noted that they are setting inspiring examples through their leadership, resilience and academic accomplishments across diverse sectors.
The Governor also highlighted the wider social significance of initiatives such as “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao,” stressing that the empowerment of women through quality education is fundamental to building a progressive, inclusive and forward-looking society. He called for continued efforts to ensure equal opportunities and greater participation of women in the development of the nation.
The 15th Convocation thus became not only a celebration of academic accomplishments but also an occasion to reflect on the responsibilities that accompany education. The graduating students were encouraged to carry forward the values and knowledge acquired at the university and to contribute constructively to society and the nation.
The ceremony concluded on a note of hope and inspiration, with the graduates embarking on a new chapter of their lives equipped with knowledge, skills and a renewed sense of responsibility towards nation-building, equality and social transformation.
