Ladies and Gentlemen, a very good evening to one and all. It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the graduation ceremony.

Talent and skills are the crops that are nurtured, groomed and given all possible opportunities to grow and bloom. Graduation day is the celebration of the harvest of this crop. This is a much awaited event in every students life, as it gives the returns to the efforts put in by the students throughout their academic endeavor. It is a day full of joy, a day about pride and accomplishment, a day of celebration. It gives a sense of achievement and a sense of responsibility towards fulfilling further commitments. It fills the heart with mixed feelings -- fulfillment and sadness, anxiety and eagerness. Say goodbye to the comfortable and secure life within college walls. Get ready to march to the beat of the business world.

There's a lot more to come: goals, challenges, and opportunities! Anything is possible when you just believe in yourself.
