The 5th Convocation “Dikshant Samaroh” was hosted by Sri Sharda Institute of Indian Management-Research Foundation (Sri SIIM Foundation) on Friday at India’s capital city New Delhi. Dr. R Seetharaman, CEO of Doha Bank was the Guest of Honor at this function.
At this function he was conferred “Honor of the Doctoral Fellowship” for his outstanding contribution to global economics, international banking vis-à-vis in recognition of his thesis paper “Economic Implications of Global Citizenship”.
On accepting the doctoral fellowship he thanked the Board of SRI SIIM Foundation. He said “I am proud to be a part of this esteemed academic family, and in becoming a permanent part of this University and this global network of friends. India is one of the oldest civilizations and has a rich and varied heritage. India is the land of spiritual bliss, splashed by the waters of holy rivers.
“India is the largest democracy and is committed to tolerance, harmony, equality, justice, and the rule of law. India is land of unity in diversity. It has different languages, customs, art and culture. On account of this Indian culture has also transcended borders in the form of dance, literature, food, music, festival or cinema Indian festivals are celebrated globally,” he said.
The Indian Culture has brought Global Indian Community closer. Indian youth empowers by participating in various cultural programs. India today is poised for a giant leap from the ranks of developing countries to developed countries. Our economic growth is robust and we boast of a very high percentage of youth population among the nations of the world, Dr Seetharaman added.
It is clear that with Internet access and participation in social networking sites, the social being in the age of globalization, is no longer limited by locality; it has become a global existence. Social media enables students to find themselves in an interconnected world, it is important “to recognize the fundamental interconnections among disparate people, places, and process, and the ways in which these influence and constrain even apparently local and individual choices. It is estimated at 1 percent of the world’s population carries two or more passports and hence Global Citizens can also be dual citizens”.
“The main advantage of traveling with two passports is to travel in a wider range of countries. Countries such as Singapore and South Korea encourage dual citizenship up to some age.”
Dr. R Seetharaman is a recipient of six doctorates from leading universities in the world, including Ph.D. in Global Governance by European University, Ph.D. in Green Banking and Sustainability from Sri Sri University and Sri Sharda Institute of Indian Management (SRISIIM) is the third Ph.D.
