New Delhi, Sept 7 (IBNS): President Pranab Mukherjee attended the first convocation of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Delhi on Wednesday in New Delhi.

Speaking on the occasion, the President congratulated all the graduating students.

He said that its maiden convocation is an important milestone for NIT Delhi. Despite operating from a transit campus, it has made best efforts to maintain the standard of education and offer state-of-the-art infrastructure for academic activity.

This institute has carved a niche for itself in a short span of time., Mukherjee said.

He complimented the management for its foresight, the faculty members for their sincerity and dedication, and the staff and other employees for their hard work and commitment.

He urged them to move ahead with pride and determination.

The President said that India is an old land but a young nation. It has developed remarkably after independence, growing in all sectors from industry to agriculture and services. Given our potential, we can soon count ourselves amongst the advanced nations of the world. Our aspirations are big but certainly achievable.

He said that what gives him the confidence is the capability, skill and talent available in our pool of engineers, technologists, scientists, managers, administrators, policy-makers, doctors, lawyers, scholars and researchers. They are the ones on whom the onus of meeting our development challenge rests.

He wished the students all the best for their future careers and said that society looks upon them to become harbingers of change.
