The 23rd Convocation of the PGDM programme of Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management (VJIM) was conducted at the Bachupally campus of the institute, on Sunday, April 22. The chief guest of the occasion was Satish Pradhan, Former Advisor and Chief of HR of Tata Sons. The ceremony was presided over by Dr D N Rao, President, Vignana Jyothi.
The convocation ceremony was attended by members of the Vignana Jyothi Society, guests from the corporate, academia, faculty members and students. The chief guest gave away the medals and prizes. Ramprasad Varun won the Meritorious Gold medal, while Niharika Bakshiwon best female student award. The winners of other gold medal in different domain streams included Ramprasad Varun, Ayesha Syed, Sushri Sangita Acharya, Nalini CH and Suparna Seal.
CHS Durgaprasad, Director of VJIM, outlined the steady progress made by the institute from the time of its inception to the present day and has grown from strength to strength. He informed that 156 students are being conferred the Post Graduate Diploma in Management, of which seven of them have already become entrepreneurs, and all others got placed in reputed organisations.
Satish Pradhan, in his convocation address, observed that the graduates are stepping across a very important threshold. The qualities of the graduates are the strength with which they commence this phase. Satish Pradhan observed that the world in 2017 will demand a persistent ability to keep reinventing oneself and adapting to a rapidly changing world of volatility and turbulence. The chief guest had mentioned that developments like countries becoming more protective through regulations like visa controls, indicate that the world is rapidly changing around us.
Observing that these are the days with a strong pull towards "I, me and myself" and that the greater good and the sense of giving has receded, he stressed that a fragmented society and divisive forces are indeed the challenges to be addressed and there is a greater need for creating an inclusive and wholesome society and a sustainable environment around.
Underlining the change in the nature of productive work wherein dull, dirty and dangerous work is rapidly getting automated, he opined that only work that could survive is that which leverages ‘human’ contribution, driven by innovation and enterprise.
