Itanagar, Nov 30: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) BD Mishra while presiding over the 19th Convocation of Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) at its Rono Hills, Doimukh campus on Tuesday called upon the passing out students to emerge as a “frontline contributor for humanitarian cause” in any crisis situation, while asking them to draw lessons from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The PM has worked tirelessly in the national interest and ensured best management of COVID19 crisis. India’s efforts have been the best in the world,” the Governor said and encouraged the students to treat Modi’s COVID crises management as the role model in humanitarian actions. The Governor also advised the passing out students not to run only after the Government jobs but to become ‘Start up’ and job provider by making use of the Govt schemes.
Enlightening them about the dignity of labour, he said that as they are stepping in their work life they must remember that their alma mater and teachers expect them to be a nationalist all the time. Mishra advised them not to run after Government jobs only and suggested them to become a Start up and job provider by using the Government schemes which are now aplenty.
Agriculture and its related work fields provide good opportunities for ‘Start up’, he said. The Governor said that if they are determined and willing to respect the dignity of work and labour, there is big scope everywhere for good livelihood. He also advised them to acquire merit and not bribe for their mission accomplishment. “Always abide by law and be a man of 100% humane virtues,” the governor stressed. On the occasion, the Governor presented the Chancellor’s Gold medal for academic session 2020-21 to Md Basit Rahman, Master of Science (Mathematics) and gold medal to toppers of various disciplines in the undergraduate degree courses. He congratulated the awardees of medals of distinction, degrees and diplomas. The Governor, who is the Chief Rector of RGU, also got distributed a copy of ‘Fundamental Duties’ as enshrined in the Constitution of India along with the degrees and diplomas.

He said that the purpose is to remind the graduating students that the Fundamental Duties are the most important part of our national responsibilities. These responsibilities devolve on every citizen of India, including “you, me, all others present here and elsewhere”, he emphasised. The Governor said that the most important factor for the human beings for attaining a benchmark in life is the ‘awareness’ and being ‘abreast’ with contemporary happenings. Equally important in life is communication skill. He reminded all that in one’s entire life one’s success or otherwise will depend on interpersonal behaviour and if a person wants to have an identity for him or her, he or she has to be an informed good communicator
