Pune (Maharashtra) [India], June 28 (ANI): Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan on Friday said that the consistent effort, dedication, and the establishment of clear goals are essential principles that can lead graduates to success in their professional journeys.

'When one articulates a specific objective, it is imperative to focus on that goal, engage in diligent work, and persist in the face of challenges without succumbing to discouragement. Success is assured for those who embrace this approach,' Governor Radhakrishnan said.

Speaking at the occasion, the Governor said, It is natural to get tired or disappointed in life, but don't stop there. Every effort you make is useful for shaping your life, for achieving happiness. A happy mind gives energy and motivation for the work you do. You must make a habit of enjoying your work.

Today, many countries in the world are inviting Indian skilled manpower to meet their industry needs. Indian students should be ready to seize this opportunity. Universities in Maharashtra are being encouraged to start short-term language courses in German, French, Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, Italian, and other languages. This will give our students a competitive advantage in the global job market, said the Governor.
