On 20th December 2025, Prof. Ujjwal K. Chowdhury represented Techno India University at the Convocation Ceremony of Vision for Excellence International University (VIEU), East Africa, joining graduates and educators in celebrating aspiration, achievement, and shared academic values.
The convocation marked a significant moment for VIEU’s graduating class, but it also reflected a wider spirit of international academic solidarity. The ceremony unfolded with dignity, bringing together scholars, faculty, and academic leaders committed to advancing education as a force for opportunity and transformation.
For Techno India University, the occasion served as a meaningful demonstration of its expanding global footprint. Prof. Chowdhury’s presence underscored TIU’s belief that international collaboration is essential to shaping the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and leaders.
In his address to the gathering, Prof. Chowdhury emphasised the evolving responsibility of universities—not only to produce skilled professionals but to nurture informed, ethical, and globally aware citizens. His remarks resonated with the audience, reinforcing that education today must encourage leadership, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving across borders.
Beyond the ceremonial honours, the convocation created room for purposeful academic dialogue. Prof. Chowdhury held extensive discussions with Dr. James Bamwesa, Chancellor of VIEU Africa, and Professor Lucien M., focusing on building future collaborations between Techno India University and VIEU. Their exchanges explored student and faculty mobility, joint research, and broader cooperation between India and Africa in emerging educational frontiers.
What distinguished these conversations was the shared conviction that genuine partnerships must be rooted in respect, mutual purpose, and long-term commitment. The intent was not merely to formalise ties, but to develop academic ecosystems that encourage inclusive growth and sustained innovation.
Techno India University views its participation in the VIEU East Africa Convocation as part of a continuing journey—one defined by academic diplomacy, cultural collaboration, and an investment in global knowledge networks. As TIU deepens its international associations, engagements like these reaffirm its core belief: when education connects continents, it shapes societies, empowers generations, and drives meaningful change worldwide.
