Vice President C P Radhakrishnan called upon the graduating students to work hard with dedication without giving up and see awards coming their way. He was addressing the graduating students of JSS Academy of Higher Education in Mysuru today.

Quoting Bhagavad Gita, he said, it is our duty to perform without thinking about rewards. He asked students to use the knowledge gained in the college and concentrate on their goals. Never take success or failures the hearts but with single-minded dedication to perform better each time with a happy heart.

Quoting Vivekananda’s call ‘awake, arise and stop not till the goal is achieved’, Mr Radhakrishnan asked the young graduates to absorb only the good things of others and never compare the speed of progress with others. He said, the More one falls, the stronger they become to overcome challenges.

The Vice President also advised students to keep away from mobile addiction and to ever respect their elders, teachers and parents.
