At the 5^th Convocation of HSNC University, Mumbai, Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra and Chancellor of HSNC University, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma; Provost Mr. Anil Harish; President, HSNC Board Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani; Vice Chancellor Col. Prof. Hemlata K. Bagla; IAS Dr. Prashant B. Narnaware, Secretary to Governor; Dr. Bhagwan Balani, Registrar, HSNC University; deans, principals, directors and officials came together to celebrate the graduating class of 2026 and to look beyond the degree towards the journey that lies ahead. At the heart of this year's celebration were 45 gold medallists, recognised for outstanding academic achievement.

Governor Shri Jishnu Dev Varma gave that journey a memorable expression: “Dikshant is not Shikshant.” The message was simple, but profound. The completion of formal education is not the completion of learning. A degree may mark the end of a student's time at University, but it cannot mark the end of curiosity, growth, discovery or contribution.
