VIT Chennai hosts its 14th Annual Convocation
Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai celebrated its 14th annual convocation on Sunday (August 16, 2026). Dr. T. Ramasami, Former Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India took part as Chief Guest, Mohit Jain, Chief Operating Officer (Publishing) and Board Member, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. was the guest of honour and Dr. Ganesanathan Geathiswaran, Deputy High Commissioner of Sri Lanka, South India took part as special guest. VIT Founder and Chancellor Dr. G. Viswanathan presided over the convocation ceremony, VIT Vice Presidents Dr. Sankar Viswanathan and Dr. G.V. Selvam, Vice chancellor Dr. V. S. Kanchana Bhaaskaran, Dr.T.Thyagarajan, Pro-Vice Chancellor, VIT Chennai, Dr. Partha Sharathi Mallick, Pro - Vice Chancellor, VIT Vellore, Dr. K. Sathiyanarayanan, Director, VIT Chennai, Dr. Jayabarathi T, Registrar, VIT and Dr.P.K.Manoharan, Additional Registrar, VIT Chennai also took part in the convocation. Delivering his convocation address, Dr. T. Ramasami said that youth had an important role in building not only their own future, but also shaping their family, the country and humanity. He recalled that a few decades ago, only 740 engineering students graduated from engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu while today, several lakh of engineering students graduate from the State every year, and this would not have been possible without bringing together every available resource. Dr. Ramasami said that since 2000, Tamil Nadu had emerged as a leader in research and development (R&D), as measured by the number of research papers published in peer-reviewed journals. About 61 per cent of the research papers published in India are from Tamil Nadu, of which 35 per cent were contributed by private universities. Institutions like VIT had played a key role in this development. According to Dr. Ramasami, VIT has played a stellar role not only in transforming higher education but also in making significant contributions to the larger process of nation-building. Presiding over the convocation, Dr. G. Viswanathan, Founder and Chancellor of VIT, congratulated 4,518 (UG, PG, and PhD) who received their degrees in the 14th annual convocation of VIT Chennai. He said that only around 13 per cent of Indias population had attained graduate-level education and emphasised that graduating students represented the future of the nation. While India was witnessing rapid economic growth, he observed that the expansion of higher education had not kept pace with that of developed nations. By comparison, Canada had a graduate attainment rate of around 64 per cent among its eligible youth, while South Korea and Japan recorded rates of approximately 53 per cent, he noted. Speaking on the occasion, Mohit Jain, Chief Operating Officer (Publishing) and Board Member, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. urged the graduates to pursue happiness. You are graduating today with dreams and visions. Work hard, compete, and build teams. Build solutions to the problems that my generation could not solve. But don't be too obsessed with success. Because one of the greatest tracks is believing that the next achievement will make us happy, he remarked. In his address, Dr. Ganesanathan Geathiswaran, said India and Sri Lanka were separated by a narrow stretch of water, but connected by thousands of years of history, culture, religion, language, trade and human relationships. Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka share an extraordinary depth of culture and historical connections.
