Piyush Goyal addressed the convocation of Amity University

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal addressed the annual convocation of Amity University in Noida today, stating that there can be no greater contribution by a university than encouraging talented minds to return, nurturing their abilities, and providing them a platform that recognises and respects their potential. Congratulating the graduating batch of nearly 29,000 students, including online and on-campus learners, the Minister said the achievements of the students and awardees were the true focus of the ceremony.

Shri Goyal highlighted the wide range of opportunities offered to students and lauded the university’s commitment to merit through scholarships that enable need-blind admissions. He expressed satisfaction that half the student population comprises young women and praised the university’s strong innovation culture, with over 450 patents held by students. He also took note of the fact that 50 faculty members are Ramalingam Swami Fellows who have returned to serve the nation.(updated on 6th December 2024)
