Chhattisgarh: CM Sai urges graduates to serve humanity as Guv Deka warns against popcorn mental state

Raipur, June 5 (UNI) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai today said that a university convocation marks more than the completion of an academic journey. It is also a moment for graduates to commit themselves to serving society and humanity with knowledge, responsibility and compassion.
Addressing the fourth convocation ceremony of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Memorial Health Sciences and AYUSH University, Sai said the degrees awarded to students reflected years of hard work, discipline and dedication. He urged the graduating healthcare professionals to uphold ethical values and use their skills to strengthen healthcare delivery, particularly in tribal and remote regions of the state.
Governor Ramen Deka, who presided over the ceremony, used the occasion to caution young people against the growing challenge of digital addiction. He also warned against what he termed a "popcorn mental state", saying the culture of instant gratification driven by excessive screen exposure was weakening people's ability to think deeply, concentrate and make informed decisions.
