"Excellence without empathy and achievement without humility are incomplete. - Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan"

Jaipur, April 25

The Vice-President of India, C.P. Radhakrishnan, on Saturday urged youth to become job creators and nation-builders while addressing the 35th convocation ceremony of the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur.

Gracing the programme as the chief guest, the Vice-President described Rajasthan as a land of rich heritage, bravery and cultural depth, noting that Jaipur stands as a symbol of both tradition and progress. He said the university continues to shape generations of thinkers, leaders and change-makers committed to knowledge, integrity and service.

Congratulating graduating students, he said a convocation marks both an end and a beginning, urging them to use education as a tool for societal progress. He emphasised that the true value of education lies in its application for innovation, ethical conduct and the betterment of society.

Referring to the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat, he encouraged students to become innovators and employment generators.

He also appreciated the efforts of the Rajasthan government under Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma in promoting opportunities for the youth.

Highlighting women's empowerment, the Vice-President expressed pride in the achievements of women graduates, noting that a majority of gold medal winners in recent years have been women. He stressed that a truly developed nation cannot exist without equal opportunity, dignity and leadership roles for women, and expressed hope that the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam would enhance women's representation in legislative bodies.

Addressing the challenges of a rapidly changing world, he urged students to think critically, act ethically and embrace lifelong learning.

"Excellence without empathy and achievement without humility are incomplete," he said, calling on graduates to remain resilient and grounded in values.

He also advised students to contribute meaningfully to society, respect diversity, avoid drugs and use social media constructively.

Loved the line "Excellence without empathy and achievement without humility are incomplete." So true! Also happy to see the focus on Nari Shakti - women are truly leading in education today. Hope we see more women in leadership roles as he mentioned. Jaipur ka university doing great work! 🌸

Honestly, these convocation speeches sound same every year. Job creators? Tell that to the thousands of engineering graduates sitting at home. Our education system still focuses on rote learning, not innovation. Until we change that, these are just empty words. Rajasthan has potential but needs serious policy overhaul.

Good to see V-P highlighting the importance of ethics and social media responsibility. Our youth need to hear this. But why no mention of climate change or environmental sustainability? That's the biggest challenge for nation building. Overall a balanced speech though. #ViksitBharat 🇮🇳

As a recent graduate from Rajasthan University, I feel inspired but also anxious. The job market is brutal. V-P sir is right that we should create jobs, but where's the ecosystem for startups in Rajasthan? We need more incubators, easier loans, less red tape. Still, glad to see these issues being discussed at such platforms.
