Uncompromising excellence in both teaching and research is important.  Autonomy- where autonomy or flexibility must flow across the university from teachers to students. Governance- where governance structure of Universities must change with changing times. Transparent regulatory mechanism that ensures accountability will instil a sense of confidence in the academic community and the society as well.” He shared his 10 golden rules to success such as a)Your aspirations are your possibilities b) Be limitless in your imagination as there is no limit to human endurance, human achievement and human imagination c)There is no substitute for hard work d)There is no instant success e) Success is not an accident f) Do not wait for opportunities to know the door, if the opportunity does not knock, build a door g) Remember that; Innovator is the one who sees what everyone else sees but thinks what no one else think h) Continue to be creative i) Remember, innovator is the one who does not know that it cannot be done j)Every India must stand for innovation and not inhibition or imitation.    

Padma Shri Dr. Upendra Kaul, Executive Director – Academics & Research (Cardiology), Fortis Escorts Heart Institute said, “I feel honoured and privileged to be invited for the 10th Convocation ceremony at MNIT, Jaipur.  Being a graduate from an esteemed institution such as MNIT, which has a track record of repute, puts a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of this young talent. It is important that one must not forget to serve the people of their own nation, living at the bottom of the pyramid and uplift their lives through concepts of smart cities which have been declared by our Hon’ble Prime Minister. It is also important that one must not neglect the sectors already neglected such as healthcare, education and must build in-house technology, infrastructure and retain the talent that has been driven off-shore for better opportunities. The graduating talent must invest in education, healthcare, R&D and create the right atmosphere for positive growth.”
