The Chief Guest, in his speech, emphasised the importance of linguistic proficiency, leadership qualities, and the ability to adapt one's mindset to changing circumstances. He stated, "Life cannot be sustained by grades or degrees alone. Due to a lack of proficiency in the English language, we are compelled to follow the leadership of others."
