Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati graces 10th convocation of ICFAI University Mizoram
Aizawl, the 18th November 2022: The lone private university in the state, ICFAI University Mizoram organised its 10th convocation at the Auditorium of the Campus. Governor Dr. Haribabu Kambhampati, the Visitor of the university graced the convocation as the Chief Guest.
After taking permission from the visitor, Prof Y.R. Haragopal Reddy, Chancellor, ICFAI Mizoram declared the convocation open. The proceeding started with a welcome address and progress report of the university by Prof R.P.Vadhera, Vice Chancellor, ICFAI Mizoram. The graduating students were conferred degrees by Chancellor after getting administered with an oath by Vice Chancellor. The graduates then received their degrees from the Vice Chancellor. This was followed by presentations of gold medals and silver medals to the meritorious graduates. Governor distributed Gold Medals while Silver Medals were distributed by the Chancellor.
Governor Haribabu Kambhampati, in his convocation address first congratulated the successful candidates and wished them good luck in their future endeavors. He then shared the main ideas of the New Education Policy(NEP) 2020 introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to shape the future of India with a comprehensive and pro-development education policy.
He enlightened the gathering with the emphasis given by NEP 2020 on preparing the students for entrepreneurship to make them ‘job creators’ instead of becoming ‘job seekers. He felt that while a formal education is well-taken care of in Mizoram we need to close the huge gap in vocational and job-oriented skill education. On this pertinent matter, he urged all the stakeholders to necessary actions urgently. Governor felt that the Mizo youth has the attribute of speaking english fluently. This quality, he believed will help them achieve success even outside the state. Therefore, he urged the youth of Mizoram to venture more and more outside the state looking for opportunities rather than only searching for what is available inside the state.
Another important issue the Governor raised on this occasion was the lack of awareness of various social security and welfare schemes of the central government by the stakeholders, the officials, and the educated alike. He told the gatherings that he had been reaching out to the public whenever he has an opportunity. Apart from the bankers and the concerned officials, he urged the young educated crowds to try their hands at this awareness campaign so that these schemes benefited the maximum numbers of the targeted stakeholders.
The Governor, who himself, a sponsor of 20 plus TB patients for Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan also urged more people to come forward in helping TB patients with the provision of nutritional support through an online platform called Nikshay.

Prof. Y.R. Haragopal Reddy, Chancellor, ICFAI Mizoram also addressed the convocation. He thanked Governor Dr Hari Babu Kambhampati for assigning him the important responsibility at ICFAI Mizoram. He vowed that he will serve the University to the best of his abilities for the growth of the University and also in maintaining academic standards. He also thanked Chief Minister, Pu Zoramthanga for his encouragement and cooperation in all the endeavors of the University.
He congratulated the graduating students for their accomplishments of an important milestone in their education career. He reminded the graduating students that they are the valued ambassadors and finished products of ICFAI University, Mizoram. He wished them success in their attempts to utilize their acquired skill and degrees for their career and the benefits of society and the development of the country.
In this convocation program, Prof R.P.Vadhera, Vice Chancellor, ICFAI Mizoram read out the statistics of the university, its achievement, and initiatives being taken to strengthen the existing facilities.
The university campus is spread across 17.58 acres of land with built-up area of 43000 sq.ft. Many of the classrooms in the university are well equipped with LCD Projectors. The University have a IT lab with 60 systems, language lab with 20 stations, Geography lab, Hospitality & Tourism lab, an auditorium that has 300 seating capacity as well as video conferencing room. It also have 6 buses for the transportation of students and 1 staff bus for the transportation of the faculty and office staff. As of today, the university has 15 administrative staff, 24 Regular Faculty, and 28 Visiting Faculty. 5 more Regular Faculty positions have been approved by the ICFAI Society, Hyderabad, and are likely to be filled soon.
The University at present offers 10 post-graduate programs (MBA, MSW, M.Com, MA Pol. Sci., MA Eng., MA Edn., MA Hist., M.Sc. Geog, MA Eco., MA Mizo & Cultural Studies), and 7 under-graduate programs (BBA, BSW, BCA, B.Com, BBA-H & T, BA (Eng), BA (Geog), under three faculties, namely, Faculty of Management, Faculty of IT, and Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences. However, the university has stopped admission in BA (Eng) and BA (Geog) from 2021 and these programs will be phased out in 2023.
The university on average has been producing 250-300 graduates every year, however, this year this number is only 98 graduates (75 PG & 23 UG), which is because of the very low admission in the 2019-22 batch UG programs and 2020-22 batch PG Programs.
The university has started two new UG programs, namely, BSW and B.Com in 2022, and has also resolved to start 3 new UG Programs, namely, BCA-Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things, BCA-Cyber Security and BCA-Data Science from 2023-24, and the Ph.D. program from 2022-23.
ICFAI Mizoram is getting ready to submit itself for the NAAC Bangalore for its Assessment and Accreditation, and Participation in NIRF Ranking. It has conducted 4 sensitization lectures & training workshops on the process and procedures of Accreditation and NIRF Ranking. The university is also getting ready for the implementation of the various recommendations of NEP 2020.
As of today the university has 618 students of which 103 (17%) are in UG Programs and 515 (83%) are in PG Programs.
The convocation concluded with vote of thanks proposed by Dr. David Lallawmzuala, Registrar.
