Message by the Chancellor, Amity University

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the over 18,500 Amitians who are graduating as part of the Class of 2020. A convocation is one of the milestones in
life one never forgets and I am sure you will share the immense feeling of pride and happiness with us and all your family members, friends and colleagues.

As an Amitian never forget the great sacrifices your family and faculty have made to give you the best possible education. It is now your responsibility to do
your best possible to give back to society and make them all proud.

I express my sincere appreciation to all the faculty and staff of Amity University, for assisting you on your educational and life journey during these defining
years, and for continuing to make this University a place of excellence and fine achievements.

We are here because of the vision that our Founder President Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan had and the passion and junoon with which he has brought together the best
people and led them to ensure that Amity offers transformational education to brilliant young achievers who will go further to improve society. Just one of the
many outcomes of this commitment is that Amity University has been the ranked among the top 3% universities globally by QS and THE (Times Higher
Education)- the world's leading University rankings organizations. Amity has also set a new standard of academic excellence by becoming Asia's only university
to get both a US Regional Accreditation from WASC as well as QAA, UK Accreditation.

This year has been extraordinary and challenging for all. I am proud that everyone at the University has risen to the challenge to ensure that our students get the
best possible education and experience. We have also together taken care of those who need it the most by cooking food in the University cafeterias and
distributing to tens of thousands of people, in addition to giving PPE kits and hundreds of tonnes of ration during the deepest lockdown periods.

There are of course many factors driving Amity's growing success now and into the future. Given that research is an important indicator of the stature of a
University, we have made considerable investments in research. For instance, Amity in the last years has filed over 1,300 patents, which as per the Annual
Report of the Controller General of Patents, Government of India, is by far the highest number of patents filed by any Indian University.

Today, as you receive your degree, you will hold in your hands the key to the door of your future professional success. As future leaders, I trust that the
leadership qualities that you demonstrate will reflect the values that you have nurtured during your years at Amity. These values not only ascribe to the highest
levels of academic distinction but also inspire you to follow a lifelong pursuit of excellence. They also make you a better human being, rendering selfless
services to your Country, society and humanity.

Congratulations once again. Always remember we are family for life. I look forward to meeting you in the future and sharing in the stories of your success and
happiness. We are always there for you.

Dr. Atul Chauhan
