WELCOME ADDRESS Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen, I extend a hearty welcome to you all at the third Convocation of

Appendix 3 VICE CHANCELLOR’S REPORT
Respected Padma Shri Madhu Pandit Dasa, Chief Guest of the function and Chairman, The Akshaya Patra Foundation& President, ISKCON-Bangalore, Hon’ble Dr. S. M. Seth, Chancellor of Poornima University, Members of PJF Advisory Board, Members of Board of Management, Members of Academic Council, Distinguished guests, Faculty members, recipients of degrees and their parents and dear students.
Now I present before you a report of activities, academic and other accomplishments, during the last academic year by Poornima University.
As you are aware the promoters of Poornima Group, the largest educational group in Rajasthan, after the success of their earlier opened 4 colleges came up with their new venture, Poornima University in the year 2012. Under the most able and intellectual stewardship of our learned Chairperson Prof. S.M. Seth, members of PJF Advisory Board and Board of Management of Poornima University, it has been our sincere endeavor to develop proper system of learning in the university, which can promote brilliance and enable us to develop trust, fairness, respect and accountability among all the stakeholders.
This along with our motto of “YOUR DREAMS OUR GOALS” has contributed to remarkable growth in all fronts through systematic well-structured and focused goal oriented philosophy, processes and actions. PU takes students as they are and makes them industry ready employable youth and launches them on the path of career growth and success which can be measured by the placement of first two batches of MBA and one batch of BCA, BBA.
The University presently has six schools namely School of Engineering and
Technology, School of Architecture & Planning, School of Management, School of Commerce, School of Design and School of Basic and Applied Sciences. The state of the art research facilities and modern amenities like well stocked libraries along with project centers create a conducive environment for teaching - learning process. The University is committed to bring about perceptible change in society with its innovative and equitable practices and systems.
As we are aware that the challenge before the educationists today is to channelize the intelligent, creative and enthusiastic youth of the country into the nation building process. We strongly believe that right mix of education focusing on head, heart and hand can substantially help in meeting this challenge. The need therefore is to
reorient education that concentrates on the development of right attitude, knowledge and skill set of the students and that is what we are concentrating upon here.
Presently the University is running 7 branches of engineering having 4 year degree courses in Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science with Cloud Technology, Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Besides these branches of engineering, the University is also offering a 5 year B. Arch. program, 3 year BCA, BBA, B. Com., 2 year MBA, M and Tech. programs & Ph.D courses besides dual degree programs like B.Tech. + M.Tech., B.Tech. + MBA. Last year, two new undergraduate courses with 4 year duration namely B.Des. (Interior Design) and B.Des. (Fashion and Textile Design) have also been started which had very good response. This year M.Tech. course on transportation Engineering and one year Certificate Course on Women fashion Clothing have also been started. Presently the University has a total student strength of 2800. In an effort to bring in better quality in its education and cross cultural exposure, the Poornima University has joined hands with the top global universities by entering into collaboration with them for student/ faculty exchange, study abroad opportunities, holding joint international conferences and seminars and many other activities.
During this year, the University inducted 40 new well qualified faculty members. Nearly all the departments now have an improved teacher – student ratio, which is essential to impart quality education. The University presently has total of 33,857 sq.m building constructed on 131028.63 sqm of land with all required class rooms, laboratory spaces and 3 air conditioned multi-purpose halls with seating capacity of 200+ each, a library with more than 16000 books & 450 computers with subscription of IEL Online Journal, Delnet. More than 25 well equipped labs for various courses, 730 Students staying in 4 hostels (30% of the total strength), Smart class rooms, Wi-Fi Campus with 24x7 digital & physical surveillance having 750 KVA Power Backup. The University has globally recognised credit system with Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE), extensive curriculum designed by industry and academic experts with flexibility to conduct Professional Certificate Courses (PCC) with provision for updating the syllabus. During the current year large number of co-curricular activities were conducted for overall grooming of students. Mainly PU- WRS (Write-Rehearse-Speak), PU Inspire, Super Club, Japanese and French Language Classes, expert/ special lectures, and non-syllabus projects. This year we also included a 2 months winter training for B.Tech. Students after Vth sem. and opportunity for 6 months industry internship in VIIIth sem.
Our most ambitious program of higher studies and research has also come a long way in a very short span of time with lot of success. The University has
established a very high reputation for our master’s and doctoral programs due to emphasis on hard core academics and research oriented activities.
Based on the publications brought out by the students and the faculty members of the University in last three years, a compilation in two volumes has been brought out this year comprising of about 200 papers. This compilation provides on publications brought out in International Journals, National Journals and Conferences and is a testimony of the research initiatives taken by our students and faculty.
The vision, mission and actions at Poornima University focus at transforming an individual into a complete human being by providing value based education and learning. Initiatives of university are intended to arouse a craving among its students to explore the meaning of life and develop a passion for new knowledge. Understanding the power of youth and their quest for knowledge, we have designed the curricula and academic activities to cater to these needs and aspirations. Our academic programs are designed to facilitate the students to channelize their curiosity and project their best talent manifested in academic and co-curricular performance. They are groomed to take all the challenges of life in their stride.
Poornima University is synonymous with quality education at affordable cost. It gives me immense pleasure to inform that our students get the best exposure during their stay with us and their caliber and capabilities match with the requirement of national and international companies. It is a trendsetter in campus placements for having launched its students in top notch companies of global repute at decent packages.
With a vision of creating knowledge based society with scientific temper, team spirit and dignity of labor and the mission of evolving and developing skill based systems for effective delivery of knowledge to equip young professionals with dedication and commitment to excellence, Poornima University is marching ahead with focus on new emerging areas of science and technology to cater for societal needs and India’s growth. By promoting entrepreneurship and contributing in start-ups, Poornima University is playing its role in transforming the pedagogy through technology, ethics and social awareness.
I am very happy to inform that under our mission for social responsibility we have started an innovative program named Poornima Pathshala in which around 100 underprivileged children are provided with academic resources, fun & sports activities in the campus.
I am extremely happy to share that the University during the current year has been awarded the “Best Upcoming University” by Honorable Union Minister for Human Resources Development. Also, at the same event we were also awarded “Best Upcoming Institution for Fashion & Interior Design” for the outstanding work done.
On behalf of all members of Poornima family, I express my gratitude to all the dignitaries and honored guests for gracing this occasion with their benign presence and congratulate the students receiving degrees today and parents who are here with them. I also wish the passing out students very best in all their future endeavors.
Jai Hind, Jai Jai Poornima Sansthan.

I extend a warm welcome to all of you to Third Convocation of Poornima University. It is special honour for us to have an inspiring role model, a globally sought after speaker the originator of great NGO ‘Askhaya Patra’, IIT Engineer Padma Shri Madhu Pandit Dasaji as our Chief Guest on this memorable occasion. I also welcome Waterman, winner in 2015 of the Stockholm Water Prize, also known as "the Nobel Prize for Water", Shri Rajendra Singhji who will be honoured today with the award of Honoris Causa Doctorate Degree of Poornima University and all our distinguished guests and well-wishers. I am very happy to be here before this distinguished audience and the 627 scholars and students who are graduating today. I also extend a very special welcome to these bright stars of this ceremony today– It is because of them that we are gathered here. I also warmly welcome the parents, family members, friends of the graduating students and colleagues who have joined us on this memorable occasion. The graduation ceremony is the most awaited and significant occasion in any University’s calendar. It is a moment of pride for the graduating students as much as it is for their teachers, parents and those who had any part in shaping their lives so far. Today is a very special day for this University, as the first batch of B.Tech. students shall be graduating to realize their dreams and we are fortunate that the Convocation Address will also be delivered by an engineer. The last four years have been remarkable for this University. I am particularly happy that not only is this University a young university, but it is also fresh and youthful in terms of vigor, ideas and directions. On this special day let me complement our faculty members across all schools who are working very hard to make sure that the vision with which this University was started, sees the light of the day. The fruits of the team’s toils have started to become visible as the University was awarded as the “Best Upcoming University-2016” by ASSOCHAM at their 9th Higher Education Summit-2016 held in New-Delhi. Now a few words, to the BCA, B.Com, B.Com Honours, BBA, B.Tech, MBA, M.Tech, and PhD degree recipients. My heartiest congratulations to you all who are receiving their degrees across various courses and disciplines – Congratulations, you have done very well and deserve to celebrate today. Convocations mark a transition in an individual’s life. I would like to particularly congratulate two awardees of PhD Degree Nupur Jain and
Anurika Mehta and also the awardees and parents of the Chancellor’s Gold Medal, SES Gold Medal, the Gold Medal and the Silver Medal.
You all are also entering a world, which is exciting as well as challenging. The world you inherit is beset with great challenges. Change is upon us – if we want it or not. Yet – you have the greatest opportunity in generations: to be the architects and builders of a new world. Drucker was the master in bringing things to the point – “you cannot manage change, you must get ahead of it” – first in your minds and then in your practice and your lives. You will have purpose like no generation before you. They say that institutions can’t build the future of the young, but they can build the young for the future. At Poornima we have equipped you fully with skills and tools to deal with this challenge most confidently. Today marks an important day in your lives – yet, it is a beginning of a journey. To get to this point was an important achievement in itself to which I commend you. The personal competencies that got you here – passion, commitment, tenacity, open minds to learn – will be important throughout your lives. Nurture them. They will be even more important than what you have learned. ई वर का दया कभी अ प नह ंहोता, जो टूट जाये वो संक प नह होता हार को ल य से दूर ह रखना, य क जीत का कोई वक प नह ंहोता There is a final point I would like to make though – to live fulfilling lives in this new emerging world and to become an architect of the future, you need to know yourselves. And you need to be ready to reinvent yourself throughout your lives –I wish you the best for your lives – embrace the challenges and get ahead of the change. Find your purpose and take your share in shaping the new world. Become creators of the future. You can do it and my best wishes are with you. My friends, there is great news for you. India is becoming a land of huge opportunity. Let me end by saying that it was always great to be an Indian. But now, it is great to be in India. Let's all come to this and celebrate thanking all those that have gone before us and pledging ourselves to continue this wonderful tradition in even new ways. Whatever choice you make, as graduates of this University, you represent the values and principles this University stands for. The Sanskrit phrase on the University’s logo – ‘ ानम बना न कम प सा यम’ (Without knowledge nothing is possible) is our guiding beacon. I believe
you all shall become good ambassadors of the University and shall always strive for the pursuit of knowledge. Be grateful to your families, your teachers, mentors and everyone elsewho have sacrificed a lot to ensure that this day becomes a reality. As you celebrate today, be grateful for all the support that you have received, and go out into the world as a transformed individual, equipped with new knowledge and skills, willing to share and give back. It is our duty as civilized, patriotic Indians to protect our environment to ensure sustainability and leave a better future for our future generations. Dear Degree Recipients, I would like to quote E.O. Wilson - "You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. The world needs all you can give."
I congratulate Dr.Bhatia, Vice Chancellor and all officers, faculty members, staff and students of Poornima University for successful organization of this third convocation in a meticulous manner. I would like to express our gratitude to Trustees of Shanti Education Society for providing all moral as well as financial support all along. I congratulate all the degree and medal recipients. In all the ups and downs; highs and lows that you shall witness going forward, may God grant you wisdom, success and true sense of fulfillment of your dreams and goals. May the education you have received here serve not just your lives but our country and society well in the years to come. May your lives be richly rewarding and fulfilling, and may you enjoy much happiness. Congratulations and good luck. I am grateful to all the distinguished ladies and gentlemen who are here with us at this convocation. Dear Degree Recipients, finally I would like to conclude with the following couplet काम करना ऐसा क पहचान बन जाओ, हर क़दम चलना ऐसा क नशान बन जाओ िज़ दगी तो सभी काटते ह दो त , तुम िज़ दगी ऐसे जीना क मसाल बन जाओ
Jai Jai Poornima Sansthan! Jai Hind!

CONVOCATION ADDRESS (By CHIEF GUEST – SH. MADHU PANDIT DASA)
On 24th September, 2016)
Respected Sri S M Sethji, Sri KKS Bhatiaji, Dr. Rajendra Singhji and all the respected academicians on the Dias and dear students.
Good morning to all of you.
I am pleased to be here today which is a special day for all of you. It is a special day for you because you are being decorated with a degree. A special day for you because your hard work and sacrifice to study has been crowned with success.
You are today tasting the good feeling of success of a major milestone of your life. Now that you have completed a major milestone of your life you are at the cross roads of life with a big question before you. What next?
So far in your student life, from childhood it has been a life of more of 'taking' than that of 'giving'. Taking from society, taking from parent, taking from the family, taking from teachers. Now, for the rest of your life it is your turn to start to do what. Say loudly. It is for 'giving' service to the people. Please repeat loudly. Life is for 'giving'.
Educating men and women is successful only if we can turn out individuals who learn to give to the society, many times multiplied what they have taken from society. Progressively giving back to their family , giving back to their children, give back to the society, giving back to their country and give back to the world and most important giving back to God in service of humanity. God who has given us this body, families, our society or nation and our world to live in.
Seva is the dharma of the soul. Nobody can escape Seva. One is constantly serving the demand of his body and senses or the family or the society or the nation or the world or God Himself. Just as light and heat is dharma of fire, Seva is dharma of the soul. Seva is about sharing oneself, ones abilities and ones possessions with others for their needs though not for others greed.
Today I am going to talk something that you don't learn formally in universities. It is about the needs and greed’s. We have needs. Our family has needs. Our society has
needs. Our nation has needs and our world has needs. But greed is a creation of our mind. It is not an objective need.
If you draw a circle of needs around your bodily self, a circle of needs around your family, a circle of needs around your society, a circle of needs around the nation, a circle of needs around the world and circle of concern around God you will discover that each of these circles of needs grow bigger and bigger. And smaller circles are included in the bigger circles. The smallest circle of needs is the needs my once own body and senses. And the biggest circle will be the circle of concern around God.
God does not have a circle of need but he has a circle of concern. And that circle of concern around God is the concern for the wellbeing and happiness of all living entities in this world. The circle of 'need' of everyone is respectable. But if we were to draw a circle of greed of people, family, society and nation then it is not at all respectable. It is selfish and is not supported sustainable.
The largest circle is called selfless circle of devotional service to God and humanity. That is obviously the highest Seva for the entire life on earth. Vasuda Eva kutumbakam. Vasudha means earth Eva means only and kutumbakam means family.
The goal of life is move ones Seva domain into bigger and bigger circles of needs. Perfection of life is to attain the seva in the circle concern of God, which is to do Seva for the wellbeing and happiness of all living entities on earth. The happiness one derives in life progressively increase as one moves his one's more and more Seva into bigger and bigger circles. This is real success in life of a human being according to the spiritual traditions of our great country. Please make it your ambition in life to attain Seva in bigger and bigger circles and reach the biggest circle of working for wellbeing of happiness of everyone.
Please note that I said that only the circles of needs are respectable and not the circle of greed around individuals, families, societies nations and the world. There is no philosophy of life that exists which can harmonize the circle of greed of man, family, society, nation or the world. Such a life is unsustainable. The earth cannot sustain such a life. Nature is designed to react negatively to such abuse of earth and its resources at individual level as well as at family, society and nation or global level. And that is exactly what is happening to this world today. The world is moving at a dangerous pace of greed.
Today the common man of this world has become a victim of consumerism through advertisement in converting so many things in life from being an item of greed to a need. This is the phenomenon of consumerism that has grabbed this country.
Consumerism in west which exists for decade did not create a better western society of better and happier human beings. Now Indians are following the western life style blindly in the name of progress.
And that is the reason why in spite of so much of material progress in technology, an average man of today is unhappy than a man even ten years back. Technology has changed everything on this earth except two things which remain as old as before. Birth and death.
According to the world happiness report 2016 prepared by sustainable development solutions network , a global initiative of United Nations the rate of decline of happiness, India takes a place lower than China, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh and even Somalia.
What has created this situation? It is ignorance of the divine nature of the self. Each one of us is divine. Divine means godly. When I say 'you' I don't mean your body which is just a sophisticated machine. 'You' means the soul in this body. The real 'you' is the residing and travelling in this body in a journey from birth to death. The real 'you' never dies. When you realize you are divine, your desires and interests will be divine and your power to fulfil those desires too will be divine. This would include divinizing your material life too. If you think you are only the body, your divinity is lost.
This body is a machine. How can you reduce yourself to be just a sophisticated machine? A machine of flesh and bones. You are much more than that. If you think ignorantly that you are the body, they will have only body desires and bodily power and that is what today's ignorant world is all about.
When your forget that you are divine you think you are only this body then the quality of experience of life will be closer to animal life and your powers to fulfill those desires are limited by your own karma.
What is my real divine nature? What is this divine power? What is nature of God? The answers to these questions are available in our ancient scripture and the summary of which is revealed in Bhagavad Gita. I advise you to never stop asking questions and you will find all the answers to the fundamental questions of life through study of Bhagavad Gita As it is by
Realizing ones divine nature is not to earn divine power to exploit material energy more.
Real divinity is to realize the self-knowledge as to who we are beyond this body and to guide ourselves to live a life in this body harmonious with the principles of nature designed by the creator.
Education basically teaches man to think for himself more than giving him domain knowledge. For fifteen years you all have been trained to think. Learning is about questions and answers. In your student life most of the questions and answers were given to you. Rest of your life you have to now ask relevant questions and find answers. You should never stop asking questions. You should go on asking questions to point of who am I? Why was I born? Where will I go after death? What is the purpose of life?
Don't think that if I ask these questions of life I will become a sadhu and leave material life. That is a stupid logic. It is just like saying if I hear the knowledge of nutrition from a nutritionist for my good health then I will become a nutritionist. For everyone to become sadhu is not the goal of life and it is not goal of engineering education to make engineering professors. A few engineers will become professors. Some will become sadhus if it is their calling life. Sadhus are like spiritual nutritionist. They will tell you how to feed and take care of your soul while you are a professional, while you are a family man, while you are a politician or anything in life. Take their association to learn how to care for your soul in whatever position you are in life.
I implore you to ask questions about modern way of life. Think independently as to its sustainability. Don't take for granted and think that all is well with this world and the way it is moving. If not all, at least some of you will become lead thinkers of this country.
I congratulate all of you once again and pray that you all succeed in making a meaningful life of your future guided by God of your own religion. I want to end with a piece of advice that you start your day by remembering God seeking guidance and end you day with gratitude to God. Success in life happens by the combination of man’s effort and God's grace. God helps those who help themselves.
Hare Krishna.
Thank you all.

As we come to the end of this ceremony, the 3rd convocation of Poornima University, it
is my pleasure to extend a formal vote of thanks to all who have made the event such a
success.
This day is a very special day for the students who have successfully completed their
studies. It is the occasion when the students’ and their parents’ hard work, dedication
and sacrifices are finally recognised and rewarded at this prestigious ceremony. It is
also the day when after closing one door, countless others open - not automatically but
on the application of your sound entrepreneurial and innovative initiatives.
Let me start by expressing our deep and heart-felt gratitude to Sri MadhuPanditDasa for
his kind acceptance to grace the occasion as the Chief Guest and to deliver the
Convocation Address. His address has been truly pace setting and keenly perceptive.
Sir, your illuminating words of wisdom will inspire the audience, the students in
particular. I am sure that the students are immensely benefitted by your kind guidance
which will go a long way in transforming their character and professional career.
We are likewise grateful for the presence of Dr. S.M. Seth, the Chancellor of the
University who has extended his valuable guidance and unstinting support in making
this Convocation program a successful one. Dr. K.K.S. Bhatia, Vice Chancellor and his
team also deserve a big hand of applause for the amount of meticulous planning and
his overall supervision. It is all because of them that the program today has been
organized the way it has been done.
I also deem it a privilege to extend my sincere thanks to the Hon’ble Members of
Advisory Board of PJ Foundation and other dignitaries for their gracious presence on
this auspicious occasion.
The faculty colleagues have always been a source of strength and support to all that
Poornima University has undertaken. My gratitude goes to all of them and the staff and
I look forward to an even more zealous involvement in Poornima University activities so
that we can carry out the mandate that has been placed upon us.
I would also like to extend a special word of thanks to the proud parents, relatives and
friends for the support you gave to our students throughout their studies in Poornima
University. You have made many sacrifices to see your children succeed in their
studies. But, whereas you are very proud to celebrate the results of our graduates’
achievements, their achievements are yours, too. The Poornima University is thus very
pleased and proud to share and celebrate this day with you.
I would also like to thank the media who have come to cover this Convocation
ceremony. My heartfelt gratitude goes to our well-wishers and to all who have come
here from different parts to join us in this celebration and, also to all those who have
tirelessly worked for the success of the program.
In closing, let me congratulate the Degree recipients and thank you in advance. You
leave this ceremony today with a duty to uphold the good name of the Poornima
University as your alma mater – it is our hope that wherever you are and whatever you
do it will reflect positively on us all. Make wise use of the tools –the knowledge and skills
you have learned here, especially your abilities to think critically, systematically and
scientifically. It is only through hard work and continuous learning that you will reach
your full potential. I wish you all a bright future.
Once again I thank you all and good day.
Thank you.
