Emphasizing that true success goes far beyond paychecks and titles, Governor Kavinder Gupta called on young scholars to transform their academic achievements into powerful catalysts for social change and nation-building.
Presiding over the 12th Convocation of Career Point University (CPU), Hamirpur, the Governor urged the newly minted graduates to align their skills with community needs and the broader vision of Viksit Bharat. A total of 648 students received their degrees during the grand ceremony, including 43 Ph.D. scholars. Highlighting academic excellence, 43 gold medals were conferred upon top achievers, with female students leading the charge by securing 29 of the top honors.
Applauding CPU’s commitment to expanding higher education across rural belts, Governor Gupta praised key community initiatives such as the adoption of 100 villages, the ‘Mera Gaon Mera Teerth’ campaign, and grassroots drives focused on health, local products, and rural livelihoods. He also singled out the university’s ‘Vigyan Darshan’ project for fostering scientific curiosity among youth, while commending its focus on Indian values, NEP 2020, traditional medicine, and millet promotion.
In a special ceremonial segment, honorary doctorates were conferred upon three distinguished personalities: Kuldeep Dhiman (Chairman, HP State Commission for Scheduled Castes), Padma Dr. D.S. Rana (Chairman, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital), and celebrated Himachali folk artist Karnail Rana.
The event also featured the release of the university’s annual report, the unveiling of a new book on millets, and the felicitation of Millet Festival winners. The ceremony commenced with a welcome address by Pro-Chancellor Padma Dr. P.L. Gautam and a progress overview by Vice-Chancellor Dr. Sanjeev Sharma, concluding with a vote of thanks proposed by Registrar Gulshan Sandhu.
