Delhi CM addresses university’s ninth convocation
Addressing the ninth convocation of Ambedkar University Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday told students that they must look towards becoming entrepreneurs and becoming job providers.
He added that the Delhi government was launching a start-up policy that would guide them and provide legal, technical and financial support and requested students to avail the opportunity to start their own business to build a better India.
“Many of you have got placements. I am not saying that you should give that up. I am saying that you should gain experience in the field and then after a few years, your aim should be to quit the job and start something on your own,” Mr. Kejriwal told students.

When Parag Waknis lived in the United States, he would give friends and colleagues the same gift every year: a voucher. Often derided for their lack of originality and thoughtfulness, these much-maligned rectangles of plastic are some economists’ perfect gift: something that technically fulfills the criteria of a present while also giving the recipient the freedom to choose their own gift. “I was completely convinced that cash was the way to go,” Waknis says.
After moving to India in 2018 to become an associate professor of economics at Ambedkar University Delhi, Waknis found himself under pressure to give gifts that show how well he knows the recipient. His carefree days of doling out gift cards no matter the occasion are increasingly a thing of the past. Yet Waknis can’t shake the thought that there is a glaring economic flaw with gift giving. Sometimes, recipients just don’t like what they get.
