It is heartening to see that inspite of her busy schedule and other controversial things happening at the center, Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani took out time to deliver the fifth convocation address of Indian Institute of Management, Rohtak. In many ways the speech was a simple yet powerful one where she asked the students not to be deterred by failures, but move ahead in life irrespective of the challenges. Students should not be deterred by failure "but go ahead in life irrespective of failures", Irani said.
Citing the example of American information technology entrepreneur and inventor Steve Job, the Union HRD minister called upon the students to take inspiration from Job’s life to take up the entrepreneurial route to corporate life.
Minister Irani said India being primarily an agricultural economy, the management graduates must utilise their management skills and knowledge to work for economic upliftment of the nation, especially agrarian sector, an IIM release said here.
On the occasion, she congratulated the graduating students and said that they must have a vision forward. She presented gold medal to students Mayank Garg, for scholastic achievement and Sejal Agarwal for all round performance. The convocation was attended by Atanu Rakshit, Director, IIM Rohtak, Chairman and other members of the Board of Governors of IIM Rohtak Society.
