The greatest assurance we have at the moment is our visionary leadership. But we as Indians must rise as one person. Forces inimical to Bharat within and without have to be neutralized. These are occasions when we must place our fundamental rights at a level which is lower than fundmental duties. Right now the world is changing at a pace which is much more beyond industrial revolutions. Bharat at the moment is a global center of opportunity and growth. Amongst large economies facing difficulties, we have managed to sustain our trajectory and traversing from Fragile 5 to largest 5 economies of the world.  Let us resolve that we work in a direction to iron out the rough edges and make our democracy blossom by nurturing democratic values at the highest level, in highest commitment.”

Inspiring the students, Mr. Nand Gopal Khaitan, Senior Partner (Dispute Resolution, Real Estate), Khaitan & Co, shared, “I think you all have been born in Golden India. There is no limit to work, there is no time for work. You have to work diligently and hard. I would like that you all work very hard but also be very credible and only then you will be successful. If a fly lands on your shoulder, you quickly brush it away. But you should work on changing yourself from a fly into a butterfly. When a butterfly lands on someone, they admire it and want to keep it. So, aim to become someone who is valued and appreciated by others. Most importantly, never leave the side of your parents, mentors, friends, and teachers.”
