<br/><br/> Ram Nath Kovind, Hon'ble President of India delivered the Convocation Address at the 18th Convocation of National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, Odisha on March 21, 2021. He said, "I advise you to never judge your success only in terms of material gains. You don’t have to limit yourself by the pressures of conventional notions of success and societal pressures. You need to figure out what you really want to do in your life. Choose to do what gives you satisfaction and meaningfulness. Do what takes you closer to your aspirations. Do what makes your families proud of you. Plan for yourself a fruitful and productive path ahead.” Excerpts – Reproduced
