At a recent graduation ceremony in Dindigul, former Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary Irai Anbu emphasized the importance of lifelong learning.

Anbu noted that arts and sciences are connected. He mentioned famous figures like Beethoven and Thomas Edison to illustrate how creativity and innovation are vital in both fields. He stressed that education impacts not just individual lives but also the economy. He also pointed out the important roles women hold in today's society and expressed hope that more women would achieve leadership positions. Anbu concluded by stating that degrees should be used for the betterment of society rather than just being kept. The ceremony saw over 1,000 students receiving their degrees in various subjects.
