O.P. Jindal Global University Celebrates 3100 Graduates at 13th Convocation
The 13th Convocation of O.P. Jindal Global University celebrated the graduation of nearly 3100 students from its 10 diverse schools, including Law, Business, Banking and Finance, Behavioral Sciences, Psychology, Public Health, Environment, Art and Architecture, Journalism, Liberal Arts and Humanities, Government and Public Policy, and International Affairs. The academic gold, silver, and bronze medal recipients were honoured in the presence of the Chief Justice of India, the Chancellor, and the Vice-Chancellor.
Justice Chandrachud implored the students to spend their days and lives not only as ambassadors of their alma mater but also as the voices of reason in a clutter of noise. "The danger to our societies today is the clutter of noise and we need the voice of reason among the voices of unbridled passion," he said. “Take this opportunity of personal transition to envision your goals not only as individuals but also as members of society. We know better than to assume that justice is capable of a single definition or that it is the exclusive concern of courts and legislatures. Far from it being the exclusive domain of lawyers, one does not even need to know the law to spot vacuums in our decisions, policies and institutional choices." He Concluded.
The Founding Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, Mr. Naveen Jindal lauded the achievements of the students and said, “Today is very special day for me as nearly 3000 students are graduating today. It is also special because it is my father, Shri O.P. Jindal’s 94th birthday, which also marks the Founders Day of the university. He firmly believed that to empower the young generation, education was the most powerful tool at our disposal. Since our inception, we have adhered to the highest standards of higher education, earning consistent recognition among the best institutions globally. We aim to achieve this by pursuing an institutional identity of a multidisciplinary, research-driven university that fosters excellence in teaching, research, community service, and capacity building.”
The Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar congratulated the graduating students and said, “Today, on our 13th Convocation, we pay tribute to Shri O.P. Jindal and his contribution to nation building and his commitment to philanthropy that inspired his son, Mr. Naveen Jindal to be a benefactor for establishing the university. I have no doubt about the fact that these graduating students of JGU are indeed going to change the world and to make the world a better place. I am deeply grateful to the Chief Justice of India for his presence and inspiration as you continuously work towards speaking truth to power to, recognize the role of law as an instrument of social change, and being able to make institutions and individuals accountable for their actions."
