VIJAYAWADA: 2,600 students received their degrees at the eighth Convocation ceremony of KL deemed university in Guntur, in Wednesday. Infosys founder Narayana Murthy was conferred with an honourrary doctorate by the university.
Giving the keynote address, Murthy said, "Never before in the last several hundred years did India receive respect from the world community like she does today. Never before did the world think India had something to contribute to the global community other than spices. Our economy is growing at 7 to 7.5 percent this year. India has become the software development center of the world."
"However, we have another India steeped in deep poverty, illiteracy, ill health and malnutrition, and without hope and confidence in the future, for no fault of hers. We have the largest mass of illiterates in the world. About 350 million Indians cannot read or write. More than 200 million Indians do not have access to safe drinking water," he said.
Murthy, said that the government has to become more citizen-friendly and remove all obstacles to entrepreneurs to create larger and larger number of jobs. "Our economic policies have to be less populist and more based on expertise. We have to shun jingoism. Finally, we have to put in tremendous hard work and make short-term sacrifices for long-term glory. We have to be optimistic and courageous. Leading by example is the most powerful advice you can give to anybody," he said and urged the students to practice good human values and work hard towards achieving their goals.
Rythu Nestham Foundation chairman Y Venkateswara Rao received honorary doctorate from the university. Addressing the students, he said, ", wherever you go, whichever job you do and wherever you settle never forget the farmers. Always strengthen your thoughts to support the farmers who feed the country by their self-sacrifice across the seasons of the year through sweat and hard work. In the way possible you try your level best to enhance the living standards of the farmers."
