Speakers Emphasise Purpose, Creativity, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Delivering the keynote address, Sh. Vijay Golecha emphasised the importance of understanding the why behind every journey, noting that clarity of purpose is what ultimately makes a difference. He highlighted that the clearer individuals are about the reasons behind their journey, the more meaningful and successful that journey can become. Speaking about his experience at ARCH, Sh. Golecha expressed how deeply he was moved by the work of the college's Jewellery Design students. He remarked that he would have considered himself fortunate to have studied at ARCH himself. Drawing from his experience as an artist, he spoke of a strong creative kinship with the students and encouraged them to preserve their individuality and creative ethos at every stage of their journey towards becoming designers. Sh. Rajat Verma congratulated the graduating students and encouraged them to explore entrepreneurship as a pathway to creative freedom. He also highlighted the various government schemes and support mechanisms available to young designers seeking to establish their own ventures, encouraging students to explore these opportunities as they enter their professional lives. Addressing the graduating batch, Dr. Rahul Mishra reflected on the significance of the present era, where technology has made it remarkably seamless to accomplish tasks and pursue possibilities that were once difficult to access. Using the metaphor of a river that originates at a glacier and spontaneously winds its way towards the sea, Dr. Mishra encouraged students to recognise the opportunities and possibilities available to them in the present era. He urged students to use their education not only to seek employment but also to consider building enterprises of their own. He further emphasised the importance of sustainable living, responsible consumption and conserving resources for future generations. Referring to the opening verse of the Isha Upanishad, Dr. Mishra highlighted the philosophy of respecting and responsibly using the world's resources. His message reinforced the need to take only what is required, conserve resources and work towards a sustainable future. ARCH Graduates Recognised for Excellence Addressing the graduating students, Ms. Archana Surana, Director, ARCH, reflected on the larger purpose of design education.
