The class of 2020, graduating this year were given the mandate at the commencement of their studies in the colleges and the universities the world over to dream big and create a new world of prosperity and bliss by manifesting the abundance of creativity and innovativeness that the young inspired minds possess. Empowered with immense capabilities and creative abilities these young inspired minds were to be the ambassadors of a new dawn of human excellence.

Prof. PB Sharma, VC, Amity University Haryana, Gurugram.

This mandate has a great meaning now for them as they graduate this year, in 2020, in a year that has shaken the whole world by the devasting impact of Corona Virus Pandemic. With factories shut, the business closed and prolonged lockdown curtailing mobility to almost zero for over 2 months has posed before the professionals of the new age, especially to the class of 2020 a monumental challenge to rebuild the national and global economies, and respond with courage, conviction, and firm resolve this greatest challenge of the century.  I salute the Class of 2020 who is ordained to shoulder this great responsibility.

The class of 2020 is empowered with the enormous power of technology and possess a great vision to create a world of prosperity and abundance of blissful engagement to turn around the devastated economies and build a world much better than what it was before COVID-19, that was marked with highly degraded health of the environment, great economic divide and development concentrated in megacities based urbanization that created ultra-rich in increasing numbers alongside mega slumps and clusters of urban poverty.
