Chennai Anna University Vice-Chancellor R. Velraj attended the function as a special invitee and gave the degrees to the students. Then he said:-
It has been 75 years since India became independent. The development of our country globally is in the hands of the youth. Even with basic knowledge in the relevant subjects, special skills need to be developed. The focus of today's youth is to go into the IT sector. The reason is that once you enter that field, you get a higher salary. Opportunities are bright for talented people in many fields. Although the initial salary will be low, after gaining experience you will be able to decide the salary yourself.
It is essential that young people develop leadership qualities. For that you can do yoga, meditation etc. Apart from that, youth should not get addicted to drugs, gambling and cell phone use. In this, the addict will cause great harm to the society and the family.
This was said by Vice Chancellor R. Velraj. Aswathy Venugopal, Head of Human Resources, Cognizant Technologies attended the function and spoke.
