The minister advised against limiting one's goals to becoming just a doctor or an engineer, urging the students to explore their talents and strive for excellence in their chosen fields.
Chowdhury acknowledged the inherent talent in all students and highlighted the significance of hard work in unveiling that talent. He encouraged the students to maintain their morale and keep trying even if they do not succeed at first. He urged them to orient their thinking towards life, overcome challenges, and establish themselves as good citizens in society.
Highlighting the responsibility of every citizen to contribute to a transparent society, Chowdhury emphasized the need for proper observance. He praised the meritorious students for bringing glory to their parents, schools, and the entire region. He acknowledged their struggles and achievements in overcoming obstacles, expressing his desire to celebrate their accomplishments and share in their happiness.
