GD Goenka University Celebrates 10th Convocation
GD Goenka University celebrated its 10th Convocation Ceremony, where 1,491 graduates were conferred PhD, Master's, Bachelor's, and other degrees by the Chancellor. The Record of Degrees was signed by the Pro-Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor. The event was graced by dignitaries, including the Chief Guest, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Minister of Culture & Tourism, Government of India, and the Guest of Honour, Gen VK Singh (Retd.), Former Chief of the Army Staff and Former Minister of State for the Ministries of Road Transport and Highways and Civil Aviation.
Urging graduates to utilise their knowledge for societal benefit, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, said,'' On this auspicious occasion, I would like to congratulate all the graduating students and extend my best wishes for your future. You have all worked hard to realise the dreams of both yourselves and your parents, and you are the students who will change India in 2047. We are all in the Amrit Kaal of Bharat, and these fortunate individuals have studied at one of the most prestigious universities of our time. I applaud the 30 years of educational efforts made by GD Goenka Group for the country.’’
Congratulating the students, Gen VK Singh, said,’’ Over the past 12 years, GD Goenka University has made tremendous progress, and I want to congratulate all the graduating students.

If your foundation is strong, you will be able to navigate through challenges successfully.’’
"Today marks a substantial milestone in the lives of our students. Their hard work and dedication have culminated in this moment of achievement. As they step into the professional world, I am confident they will uphold the values and excellence that GD Goenka University stands for,'' said Nipun Goenka, Managing Director of GD Goenka Group.
