It gives me great pleasure to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the graduates of the 13th Convocation of Daffodil International University (DIU). This convocation represents a significant academic milestone and reflects the university's sustained efforts to uphold high academic standards, promote innovation, and foster a culture of creativity and research.
The higher education landscape of Bangladesh is evolving rapidly in response to national priorities and global developments. In this context, the University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh is placing strong emphasis on accountability, transparency, quality assurance, and the gradual internationalization of our universities. Daffodil International University, as one of the leading private universities of the country, has demonstrated commendable initiatives in adopting modern pedagogical approaches and integrating technology-driven teaching and learning practices.
However, the true strength and reputation of any university are ultimately reflected in the achievements, values, and social contributions of its graduates. As you receive your degrees today, you become proud ambassadors of both Daffodil International University and the higher education system of Bangladesh. I encourage you to apply your knowledge, skills, and ethical values responsibly in your professional and personal lives, contributing to national development and global progress.
I urge the university leadership to continue its commitment to providing quality education at an affordable cost, ensuring wider access for meritorious students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Strengthening collaboration between academia and industry, enhancing research and innovation, and nurturing entrepreneurship will remain key to producing competent and future-ready graduates.
I wish all the graduates a prosperous, purposeful, and meaningful career. I also extend my best wishes to Daffodil International University for the successful organization of the 13th Convocation and for its continued contributions to higher education in Bangladesh.
