At the 16th Convocation of Ahmedabad University, the University announced the inaugural recipients of the Ramprasad Shukla Award for Sanskrit Learning, instituted to recognise exceptional academic performance in Sanskrit courses and a sustained commitment to the study of Sanskrit.

The first recipients of the award are Manan Rathod from the Integrated MS programme and Moksh Shah from the BA (Hons) Class of 2026, who were recognised during the School of Arts and Sciences degree distribution ceremony. Both students pursued minors in Sanskrit Studies alongside their majors in Biological Sciences and Economics, respectively, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of Ahmedabad University’s curriculum that encourages students to explore diverse fields of learning while excelling across disciplines.

Instituted in memory of Professor Ramprasad Mohanlal Shukla, the award has been made possible through the generous support of Professor Darshini Mahadevia and Professor P R Shukla in honour of their father’s enduring literary and scholarly legacy.

Through this award, Ahmedabad University seeks to encourage deeper engagement with Sanskrit learning while honouring the legacy of a scholar whose work enriched Gujarati and Indian literary traditions.

“Education is not really about staying within the boundaries we arrive with. In fact, some of the most meaningful learning comes from allowing yourself to be changed by things you never expected to care about. And I think that is exactly the kind of environment this university created for us.”

These reflections by our valedictorian, Moksh Shah, BA (Hons) Class of 2026, captured the spirit of Ahmedabad University’s 16th Annual Convocation. In his valedictory address, Moksh spoke about discovering new intellectual pathways during his time at the University, from majoring in Economics and minoring in Sanskrit Studies to pursuing research in finance and exploring religious art through field visits and international study experiences.

He reminded the graduating class that knowledge is a form of wealth that only grows when shared. His address reflected the values of inquiry, exploration, and lifelong learning that continue to shape the Ahmedabad University experience.

Delivering the Convocation Address, Sajjan Jindal, Chairman of JSW Group and an accomplished business leader, urged the graduating class to step into the world with the courage to build. He described “BUILD” as the defining word for the graduates’ journey ahead: Be bold. Uphold integrity. India first. Lead through difficulty. Design for legacy.

Reflecting on the founding vision of Ahmedabad University, he said the institution was created with the conviction that education must be continuously reimagined, in the way we learn, the questions we ask, and the connections we forge across disciplines. Calling the graduates the embodiment of that conviction, he emphasised that meaningful change has always begun with belief long before evidence emerged.

He encouraged students to remain fearless in pursuing their ideas and ambitions, noting that boldness is not the absence of doubt but the ability to let conviction rise above others' doubts. Urging them not to allow caution to limit their aspirations, he reminded the graduating class that achievement ultimately depends on sustained effort and discipline. “Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard,” he said, stressing that a degree gains meaning only when matched by dedication and perseverance.

Closing his address, he reminded graduates that boldness without effort is empty, and that the responsibility now lies with them to build with purpose and integrity.

Congratulating the graduating class of 2026, Sanjay Lalbhai, Chancellor and Chairman of the Board of Governors, reflected on the changing technological landscape shaping the future of work and society. He reflected on how the convergence of technologies such as artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the professional landscape and emphasised that this new era demands graduates who can combine technological understanding with ethical inquiry, critical thinking, and reflective leadership. “As you leave Ahmedabad University, remember that while these technologies may transform the world, it is ultimately your vision, your judgement, and your values that must guide their direction,” he added.

In his address at the 16th Annual Convocation, Vice Chancellor Pankaj Chandra highlighted the University’s growth as a multidisciplinary research institution committed to innovation, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary learning.

Celebrating 923 graduating students across undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programmes, he said,” At Ahmedabad University, you entered a safe space where you could experiment, fail, and still remain secure. It was through that experimentation and moments of uncertainty and slippage that you learned and grew. You have received some of the finest education possible in our country, and that prepares you well for the future. You leave with the skills, perspectives, and adaptability needed to navigate the many challenges that will come your way with patience and resilience. You are the hope of this nation.”

He also noted national and international recognition received by faculty, students, and alumni in research, innovation, literature, engineering, and science, while encouraging graduates to remain adaptable, courageous, and committed to contributing meaningfully to society and the nation.
