WUD celebrates First Convocation: First batch of 140 students Graduate from campus

The winner of Chancellor’s Gold medal for the best overall performance for batch 2021 was Kritika Varma of School of Fashion. The winner of Gold Medal for Academic Excellence for batch 2020 was Kanchan Joshi of School of Fashion. 

World University of Design organized its first convocation today during which the first batch of 140 students leave their nest behind and make their first flight into a sky that knows no boundaries.

Established in the year 2018, WUD has grown and evolved by leaps and bounds. Whether it is Architecture, Automobile Design, Performing Arts, Fashion, Product or communication Design, the University has soared to newer heights making benchmarks for other more seasoned institutes to achieve.

While addressing the students at the convocation ceremony, Chief Guest Nitin Gadkari said, “First and foremost I congratulate every student who is here to receive their degree and wish them a bright and rewarding future. I have two philosophies which I feel very smoothly coincide with your stream of vocation; first – knowledge is powerful and second – nothing is a waste. I believe both these virtues when brought to use with the right kind of research, study and execution can bring exponential value. In your profession you can understand how knowledge of the needs of the masses can lead to upcycling of materials and minimise dump that leads to pollution. Your profession is the key to sustainability across sectors.”

Dr. Sanjay Gupta (Vice Chancellor, World University of Design) shared the aim and objectives behind the university, “The first convocation for a university is the culmination of years of hard work put in by both the students and the faculty. It’s a day of rejoicing for the whole university and we are so happy to have Shri Nitin Gadkari, HMoRTH to celebrate it with. Shri Gadkari has emerged as a technocrat leader who carries with him elements of innovation as well as pragmatism. There can not be a better choice to inspire the new generation of designers walking out of the university’s portals.”
