Speaking at the event, Prof. (Dr.) Alok Kumar Rai highlighted the broader purpose of education, emphasizing its societal responsibility.

Prof. (Dr.) Sat Prakash Bansal shared a powerful message on excellence and purpose, stating, “A university campus must stand for excellence, and excellence is never accidental. It is a continuous process in which individuals, institutions, and even nations constantly strive to improve themselves. Performance standards are set by one’s own vision and dreams, driven by focus, preparation, and the courage to take calculated risks, without being deterred by failures.”

The two-day convocation celebrated not only academic achievements but also the enduring values of integrity, service, leadership, innovation, and national responsibility that SGT University instills in its students. The ceremony reaffirmed the university’s mission to align education with national priorities, research excellence, and social impact.
