The Founding Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor C. Raj Kumar took the stage at the conference to address the audience. Talking about Mahatma Gandhi in his opening remark, the professor said that a person can inspire a nation or the whole world even after she/he is gone. He added that in order to achieve real changes in our society, our education system needs to exemplify Gandhi’s learnings in people’s daily lives.
