More
than 532 Students Awarded Degrees at KCW Convocation
Amritsar, April 3
This is an era of women empowerment and by
gaining education the women can change the world for the better. They get aware
about their rights and by earning livelihood of their own they can find respect
and honour in the society.
This
was stated by Khalsa College Governing Council (KCGC) honourary secretary
Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina during his highly motivational convocational
address while distributing degrees to 532 graduate and post-graduate girl
students at Khalsa College for Women (KCW), here today.
Giving
a historical account of various aspects of the women's emancipation, he said
women are the foundation of any nation and once they are educated they take the
society to newer heights. “As you have gained education today, you have
empowered yourself and your families and finally the nation. Your contributions
to the society would be much more now”, he said while congratulating the
students on getting degrees.
In
an emotional appeal while giving examples of successful women, he stressed on
setting up the goals and achieving their dreams without fear of failures. “The
failures are nothing but earning experiences which coax us to improve more”, he
said.
Chhina
also stressed on the dire need to introduce a skill development curriculum to
make the students professional and employable as per demands of modern job
markets. The students wearing the ceremonial gowns took the degrees while the
meritorious ones were also bestowed with the awards and honours.
