 Good morning everyone. Respect to Chairperson, our Honorable Commencement Speaker, Dr. Sedevi Angami, governing council members, parents, guardians, staff of Dazzo College, and of course the graduating class of 2023. It is a pleasure for me to welcome each and every one of you to the fifth graduation ceremony of the class of 2023. We are so honored that all of you have made time to be here with us to celebrate this happy occasion as we witness the outgoing graduation of our students. I would like to thank Dr. Sedevi, our Commencement Speaker, for also taking out the time to be with us. He is a very, very busy man, as we know, managing one of the busiest and largest hospitals in Nagaland and saving lives. He is a testament of the success, a success story, which we hope our graduates will also emulate very soon. I also thank the governing council members, Mr. Sitzubloh and engineer Kose Sadeh, for being here with us to witness the graduation of our students. Today, the 14th of July, we are sending out a total of 521 students into the world to go and further pursue their dreams. All the parents, guardians, well-wishers who are here today have played a vital role in the success of all of you students sitting before me. So I congratulate everyone here in this hall and especially our Class of 2023. I would like to request our Class of 2023 to kindly rise from your seats so that we can give you all a round, a rounding applause to appreciate your efforts. Class of 2023, congratulations to each and every one of you for your hard work. You may be seated. Dear students, when you first arrived here at Diso College, we all told you that you were all meant to be here. Our fates are all tied together and you became dreamers, thinkers, and most importantly doers of the Diso College community. And it is our hope that with now having understood the vision and mission of Diso College, which is to empower yourself towards lifelong excellence, that each and every one of you will go out into the world and create a positive impact, which is the mission of our college. Please remember that you will continue to be a part of Diso College. You will now be our alumni. You will be the alumni of 2023. Your batch, that is the batch that came into this college in 2020, went through so many unexpected challenges and experiences. You are the true actual pandemic batch of students that had to weather through so many experiences, from the online classes to the online exams to the hybrid classes when we reopened, followed by the attendance requirements that were rigorous after that and we've had to drop a few students along the way unfortunately also. Every one of you have gone through a rigorous set of assignments, exams, tasks set by your teachers to come this far. You have truly worked your way to graduate today and we are proud of the efforts that you have made to be sitting here in this lowering hall this morning. You've definitely done what you've had to do to get your degree but remember that it does not stop here. We believe that you will go on, some of you will go on to pursue higher studies, some of you will go on to work and join the professional workforce. Whatever it is you do, remember at all times that actions speak louder than words. We are a community of dreamers, thinkers and most importantly doers. We have so many graduates in Nagaland. I think you'll agree with me. We have so many educated students, educated individuals in Nagaland but the kind of graduates that we need now in Nagaland probably are the ones that do things the right way, the ones that are ethical and truly hardworking with their persistence, with their determination who are able to achieve success that way. There are, as we have seen, so many different paths to success. There are so many routes to solving a problem or mastering a task but above all of these things there is always a right way to do things so we hope that you will always take the right route. Please be excited about the future because we are truly excited for each one of you as you now go on into the next stage of life. Be excited, use your enthusiasm to conquer the world and remember that your role is to help our society confront and answer the fundamental questions and challenges that we face today. On that note I would like to once again congratulate each one of you, all the very best to all of you and do continue to strive for excellence. Thank you.
