Presiding the convocation, Dr. S. D. Gupta, Chairman, IIHMR University, addressed the students- “You should be mindful to prepare and conduct yourself to the healthcare industry’s professional world. Remember, the first job is significant; it should be an opportunity that would open the door for future success as a professional. Employers look for high personal and professional integrity, and commitment to work.  Your behaviour would matter a lot for the organization. You must hone up your inter-personal relationship skills and behaviour. When you have a problem, think of a solution as well. While you work for the growth of the organization, you choose, think of your personal growth to develop yourself as a future leader.  He further encouraged the students to publish papers in reputed Journals, which will help them position as specialists in the area of interest. He urged the students to master the data analytic skills and to use information in decision making and problem-solving as well”.
