In the presence of His Excellency, Shri Prof. Ganeshi Lal, Governor of Odisha, Dr. Sukanyya Misra, MD at JP Morgan Chase Ltd, Smt. Arundhati Bhattacharya – Chairman, Board of Governors, IIM Sambalpur & Chairman, Salesforce India and Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur; the convocation was a true celebration, attended by our respected faculty, dedicated staff, enthusiastic students, enthusiastic media journalists and distinguished guests from the Government of India and the Government of Odisha.
While congratulating the graduating students, his Excellency, Shri Prof. Ganeshi Lal, Governor of Odisha said, “ The awakening of position, this word is similarly also called, so this is also unreal. So in the awakening state and in the green light, both the things appear to be unreal. The managing director and the manager, you have to manage. So this is the way, this unreality should be transformed into a reality. And that is why, when we thirst, we dream less sleep. When you sleep, you think that you have enjoyed, that is, you enjoyed and you are happy, then it is celebration. Who gets the joy? For that it is self -restraint. That is the love which unjoins you. Therefore as far as the managing of the things is concerned, in my observation, you note, in my observation, you should note, in the observation of the sages, sages and the sages of the world, of the scientists and the philosophers of the world, the simple management is nothing else other than love itself. Love is the essence that dissolves all matter and even mind and consciousness. Marriage and worldly responsibilities are opportunities to manage love. Material wealth pales in comparison to the vastness of love. Love is beyond complaints, competition and contradictions. It is a symbol of simplicity, humility, inspiration and generosity. Attention and exchange are needed to cultivate love’s power in our minds.”
Smt. Arundhati Bhattacharya – Chairman, Board of Governors, IIM Sambalpur & Chairman, Salesforce India said, “Today, as we stand at the precipice of a world increasingly shaped by innovation and technology, it is your responsibility as graduates of IIM Sambalpur to not just thrive in the new era, but to be its architects also.
