Nobel Peace laureate and Kyiv-based human rights lawyer Oleksandra Matviichuk while addressing the batch of 2024 at the 20th annual convocation of KIIT Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, on Saturday said ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
In her convocation address, delivered virtually, Matviichuk said: “Achyuta Samanta’s example in building institutions and his efforts in reducing inequalities remind me of one simple truth — ordinary people have much more impact than they can even imagine. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things.”
Addressing the convocation, Odisha governor Raghubar Das said: “The country is going through both a challenging and exciting phase. It is estimated that Bharat will become the third largest economy of the world by 2030.”
Das said: “Today youths are playing a leading role in innovation and start-ups. India is among the top three countries in the world in the start-up ecosystem. They are making unicorns and providing opportunities to lakhs of people. Instead of job seekers, they are becoming job givers.”
