Convocation Address, SNDT Women’s University

Abstract

Convocation Address, SNDT Women’s University, Mumbai, India, 7 December 2011 by Professor Asha Kanwar, Commonwealth of Learning // It is both an honour and a privilege to speak at the Convocation of the SNDT Women’s University. A Convocation ceremony is a very important milestone in the journey of those of you who have now completed a critical stage of your lives, and are stepping onto the next stage of further education, or the world of work. To the institution, it marks an occasion to see many of its students whose talents it has nurtured, and whose faculties it has helped develop, move on successfully to the next stage of their lives. I am delighted to be a part of this happy occasion, and I thank the Vice Chancellor, Dr Vasudha Kamat, herself a powerful role model for women, for giving me this opportunity to be with you today.
