Dr. Jadhav addressed this momentous gathering by speaking about the importance of management graduates in this competitive world. He talked about how the demographic dividend and the pace of growth of the country are of advantage to the young leaders. Dr. Jadhav also emphasized on the liberalization of the Indian economy in the last 20 years, and how that has tremendously improved the standard of living of the people.

However, he mentioned that the benefits of these reforms have not been evenly distributed across the different strata of the society, nor have the job creation opportunities increased. Dr. Jadhav also talked about India's poor human development index as one of the biggest weaknesses of the country. He also spoke about inflation as a big burden for the country.

He emphasized that never in the history of India have the people been so confident and commanded respect from the rest of the world.

In this context, Dr. Jadhav advised the graduating batch that in order to achieve success in life, they have to aim high, strive to achieve what they want, manage their time effectively, focus on quality, value the important people in their lives, and most importantly, maintain a positive attitude throughout their lives.


Prof. Chowdari Prasad, Dean-Planning & Development, TAPMI proposed the vote of thanks. Dr. Ballal declared the Convocation ceremony closed.
