Further, addressing the students, Governor Acharya Devvrat said that the administrators and students of this institute have been congratulated for the fate that the institute has established in the field of design in India for the last fifty years.
He greeted and congratulated the students who have achieved a degree through their hard work, dedication, and integrity. He said that these students of the prestigious institution would be a collaborative force to fulfill Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's dreams in the construction of a 'developed India.
Acharya Devvrat said that India is not a new country. When the people of Europe wore vulcanised clothes, the people here developed the art of closing the Dhaka of India in a matchbox. India's cottage industry is famous worldwide.
Our traders used to supply goods in sea ships and supply all over the world. Our sculpture was unprecedented. Every craftsman in the village was a designer. Weaver used to make unique designs in mochi shoes, weavers in clothing and pottery pots. All of these designs were inspired by God's spirituality and the nature of nature. "Look at God's work; there is no one else in the world," he said. "Look at God's work."
If you sit under a tree and look at its petals, you will know how beautiful and finely created God is. Flowers have a combination of many colors that are not possible anywhere else. These trees and flowers work not only beauty but also the environment. The unique design of the sea, rivers, mountains, plants, and birds teaches us how we need to combine our creativity with nature.
Governor said that human beings' natural activity is to choose innovation. We get tired of the same kind of clothing or food, so the desire to change is natural. Understanding this need for human life, the Indian Design Institute prepares a design that can fill people's lives. Today, the world is moving with new technology and innovation. In such a situation, this organization can play an important role in giving society a new perspective.
In the end, he said that this initiation ceremony is a chance to get a degree and the beginning of a new chapter of life. In ancient India, the Guru gave a final preaching to his disciples that the disciple would use his education for the welfare of the society and the nation.
Acharya Devvrat said that the three most valuable things in life are Vidya, wealth, and physical force. If good people have all three, they use them to serve society, but if they go to the people with this misconduct, they are abused.
Vidya is used for debate, for wealth, and for the pain of other people. He said to use Vidya for the welfare of the society, use the wealth to help the needy, and use the force to protect the weak. The purpose of special education is the same as that of general education.
Rather than manifesting for the bright future of all the nine-wise graduates, Governor Shri Acharya Devvratji urged the students to contribute an important contribution to the use of their knowledge and skills in the nation.
