Convocation is the day each student awaits because of the
special meaning it adds to one’s life. The completion of an era of education
and the start of a renewed vigor and enthusiasm, be it towards work or further
education. So was the convocation ceremony held at the IFMR campus last Friday
for the year 2012. The list of degree receivers included PGDM full time
students, part time students and one PhD student. The convocation was honored
by the presence of the chief guest Mr A. Vellayan, Executive Chairman,
Murugappa group and Mr N Vaghul, Chairman, Board of Governors of IFMR. The
program started with a welcome speech from the President of IFMR, Prof C V
Krishnan, which was followed by the convocation honours and a speech from the
chief guest. In his note of connect to the students, Mr A. Vellayan emphasized
on the importance of global competitiveness, corporate governance and
innovation in business while keeping oneself humble. He spoke about the
comparative situation of India, China and Israel on an economic perspective and
how the Indian economy may be subject to improvement by budding managers. Mr. N
Vaghul also addressed the gathering focusing on constant cultivation of
excellence and pursuit of glory beyond personal content. Various awards of
excellence were distributed among the highest scoring students apart from the
degree honours. Vote of thanks for the evening was proposed by the Dean of
IFMR, Dr. Balasubramanian. The event ended with the reunion of batch members at
the high tea where yesteryear memories and talks were exchanged among the
students and faculty members present for the occasion.
