Mr. D. Bhattacharya, the Vice Chairman of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> 
</span>Hindalco Industries (metals flagship of the Aditya Birla Group) and Vice
Chairman of Novelis Inc told the Graduating Class at SRM University’s 12<sup>th</sup>

learn from day-to-day experiences. Decisions in professional life are complex
and multi-dimensional”, the top industrialist noted.</b>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mr. Bhattacharya
reminded students that they were starting their new journey at a very opportune
time in India as the economy was quite robust with exponential growth in many
areas and the government gearing up for the next set of reforms to make India a
shining star in the global economy. “But even as India’s economy is on an
upward trajectory, the global markets are more risk prone and financial markets
are volatile”, he cautioned.</b></div>

conferred the D.Sc degree, Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa), on Dr. Russell

Medicine, International Institute of Organizational Psychological Medicine,

ethics in the midst of advances in science and technology”, Dr. D’Souza said
going on to commend SRM University for its fortitude and vision in addressing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>moral and ethical requirements in science,
education and technology.</b></div>

relevant to society and in a country like India where socio-economic
differences are so stark, education must open our eyes to the challenges facing
us. Education can be said to be successful only if at the end of the day it has
enabled us to narrow the gaps. Making education relevant to society and making
it holistic is what SRM University is all about” said Professor Prabir K
Bagchi, Vice Chancellor, in his welcome address.</b></div>
