Shri Narendra Modi addresses 4th convocation of GNLU

Honorable Chief Justice of India Shri Altamas Kabir present during the occasion

GNLU is completing a decade and it has created a new ray of hope among students: Shri Modi

This University is a mini-India and each student is not only going with a law degree but also becoming an Ambassador of Gujarat: Shri Modi

There is a different joy of student life. When you go out, life brings various questions and that is when our Shiksha and Diksha are tested: Shri Modi

Till now you had someone to guide you. After this you will not find anyone who will say that. Now what you learnt will guide you: CM

In the sphere where you have studied you get a chance to serve the poorest of the poor. I urge you to serve the poor and give them quick justice: Shri Modi

 

On the evening of Saturday 19th January 2013 Shri Narendra Modi addressed the 4th convocation ceremony of the Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar. The Chief Minister congratulated the students who received their degrees and wished them the very best for their future. He asked the students to go out with the determination to serve society. The Honorable Chief Justice of India Shri Altamas Kabir was present at the occasion.

Shri Modi stated that GNLU is now completing a decade and that it has created a new ray of hope among students and legal circles. “After 10 years, I can say we are going ahead in the right direction. I am sure students who have passed out of here are being appreciated for their work and that is when they remember the university.”

The Chief Minister pointed that the University is a mini-India and that each student is not only going with a law degree but also becoming a brand ambassador of Gujarat. “Gujarat is proud that a student who studied here is a Brand Ambassador of the state and will fondly remember the time they spent here,” he stated.

Talking to the students about the student life the Chief Minister opined, “There is a different joy of student life. When you go out, life brings various questions and that is when our Shiksha and Diksha are tested.” He further said, “Till now you had someone to guide you. After this you will not find anyone who will say that. Now what you learnt will guide you. This is the start of life. I am sure your experience here will shape your experience in future and inspire you.” The Chief Minister avowed that without a Guru decisions can be tough but if our Shiksha and Diksha is good then we can overcome these challenges.

Shri Modi urged the students to serve the poor as they leave the University. He said, “In the sphere you where you have studied you get a chance to serve the poorest of the poor. To give justice to someone is not a small thing. I urge you to serve the poor and give them quick justice.”

On a different note, Shri Modi stated that the students must remember each and every person who made their College life for the last few years possible. “Do not think you had the money that’s why you were sent here. Do not only remember your professors, books. Remember the trees under which you sat in thought, remember the place where you had tea at night, remember the Dhobi, the person who ironed your clothes. Life is not made by the money of our fathers but the support of the people,” Shri Modi told the students.

The Chief Minister shared that the concept of convocations is not new to our culture and that mention of convocations has been made in the Taittiriya Upanishad and that in our culture we accord greater importance to Diksha than Shiksha. He pointed out to the students that they must be blessed that the Chief Justice of India is present during the convocation.

Apart from Honorable Chief Justice Shri Altamas Kabir and Shri Modi, Justice of the Supreme Court of India Shri Anil Dave, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court Justice Shri Mohit Shah, Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court Shri Prakash Tatia, Ministers Shri Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, Shri Pradipsinh Jadeja and Director of GNLU Shri Bimal Patel were present on the occasion.

On 20th December, at around 3 PM, Prime Minister will reach Guwahati, where he will undertake a walkthrough and inaugurate the New Terminal Building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

On 21st December, at around 9:45 AM, Prime Minister will pay tribute to martyrs at Swahid Smarak Kshetra in Boragaon, Guwahati. After that, he will travel to Namrup in Dibrugarh, Assam, where he will perform Bhoomi Pujan for the Ammonia-Urea Project of Assam Valley Fertilizer and Chemical Company Ltd. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

On 20th December, Prime Minister will inaugurate the new terminal building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati, marking a transformative milestone in Assam’s connectivity, economic expansion and global engagement.

The newly completed Integrated New Terminal Building, spread over nearly 1.4 lakh square metres, is designed to handle up to 1.3 crore passengers annually, supported by major upgrades to the runway, airfield systems, aprons and taxiways.

India’s first nature-themed airport terminal, the airport’s design draws inspiration from Assam’s biodiversity and cultural heritage under the theme “Bamboo Orchids”. The terminal makes pioneering use of about 140 metric tonnes of locally sourced Northeast bamboo, complemented by Kaziranga-inspired green landscapes, japi motifs, the iconic rhino symbol and 57 orchid-inspired columns reflecting the Kopou flower. A unique “Sky Forest”, featuring nearly one lakh plants of indigenous species, offers arriving passengers an immersive, forest-like experience.

The terminal sets new benchmarks in passenger convenience and digital innovation. Features such as full-body scanners for fast, non-intrusive security screening, DigiYatra-enabled contactless travel, automated baggage handling, fast-track immigration and AI-driven airport operations ensure seamless, secure and efficient journeys.

On 21st December morning before heading to Namrup, Prime Minister will also visit the Swahid Smarak Kshetra to pay homage to the martyrs of the historic Assam Movement, a six-year-long people’s movement that embodied the collective resolve for a foreigner-free Assam and the protection of the State’s identity.

Later in the day, Prime Minister will perform Bhoomipujan of the new brownfield Ammonia-Urea Fertilizer Project at Namrup, in Dibrugarh, Assam, within the existing premises of Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL).

Furthering Prime Minister’s vision of Farmers’ Welfare, the project, with an estimated investment of over Rs. 10,600 crore, will meet fertilizer requirements of Assam and neighbouring states, reduce import dependence, generate substantial employment and catalyse regional economic development. It stands as a cornerstone of industrial revival and farmer welfare.
