In her address, RTMNU Vice-Chancellor Dr. Manali Kshirsagar challenged the graduating batch to carry their technical acumen far beyond the classroom, reminding them that true education is not measured by a degree but by the ability to face a broken world and ask how to fix it. Celebrating the unique contributions of every branch of engineering and management, she underscored that integrity and ethics must always take precedence over mere efficiency in both professional and personal life. Acknowledging that life, much like a complex engineering system, is non-linear and riddled with inevitable bugs, she urged graduates to embrace setbacks not as failures but as opportunities to repair, reinvent, and rebuild – always armed with a Plan-B. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Dr. Kshirsagar inspired graduates to remain focused, adaptable, and forever committed to lifelong learning – always evolving, always in beta mode.
