Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami told graduates at UPES University’s 24th Convocation Ceremony in Dehradun that their degree marked the beginning of a new chapter rather than the end of their journey.
Dhami said students had spent their university years working, learning and gaining knowledge in a secure and supportive environment. He also acknowledged the role of mentors, who helped students identify and correct their mistakes.
Dhami’s message to graduates
Addressing the graduating students, Dhami said campus life had provided guidance and protection as they prepared for their next stage. He told them that they were now moving beyond the university and into the real world.
“Today is not just about receiving your degree; it marks the beginning of a new chapter in your lives,” Dhami said.
He referred to the demanding routine of university study, including completing assignments late at night and preparing for examinations. However, he said graduates would now face a different and more significant challenge beyond campus.
“You will no longer have to worry about staying up all night to complete assignments, nor will you need to pull all-nighters to study for exams,” he said. “However, the true test of life is only just beginning for all of you.”
The chief minister’s remarks focused on the transition from formal education to life after graduation. His message presented the convocation as both a moment of achievement and a point of responsibility for the graduating students.
