Addressing the graduating students of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda digitally at the 72nd annual convocation, Justice Chandrachud said this year the university awarded 336 out of 346 gold medals to women, who “really have made a difference in our nation”. It is a sign of changing times.
Describing the current era as a “unique time in our history”, Justice Chandrachud said that because of technology, people are more connected than ever, but it has also created fear and anxieties in them.
“We see new and unique professions emerging every day, with people charting their own professional journey that does not follow traditional norms,” the Chief Justice said. It's an exciting time to graduate. But I know that these circumstances also give rise to some uncertainties and confusion.
“You are fortunate to live in a time when you are exposed to more ideas than ever before,” he told the students. You are a unique generation who are more aware of the challenges of our times than previous generations.
He said he was amazed by the ability of the young generation to “rise to the occasion and meet the enormous challenges of our time” and urged them to move forward, not to be swayed by unrealistic expectations and to learn from their failures. Learn.
The Chief Justice said, “Our formal education does not tell us how important failure is for our development. Our education system is designed to make us hate and fear failure. However, life is not meant to be free from failures.
He said that failures in life are meant to introspect and emerge as a better person.
Quoting Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, he said, “A learned man is one who is conscious of his class and takes decisions only in the best interest of his class, but an intellectual is a free being who is free from class thought.” Is free to work without being influenced.
Justice Chandrachud said, “You can only choose to remain a learned person.” But your empathy for your peers, your passion for making the world a better place, and your ability to use your education to express these feelings will certainly make you an intellectual.
Justice Chandrachud said about the rule of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of the erstwhile Baroda state that he was known for his contribution to education and public welfare.
The Chief Justice said that during Gaekwad's regime, Dr. Ambedkar was given scholarship to pursue higher education. He said that this helped Ambedkar to go to America for higher studies, which exposed him to the egalitarian idea of freedom and liberation.
