Focusing on the theme ‘Aspire and Achieve,’ he meanwhile opined that one should aspire for great things but do small things every day, make the right choice vested on each individual, initiate things for change, and make the best use of technology wisely to get connected in this globalised society.
Since we have skills, the DC stated, it needs to be capitalised, “channelizing it to positivity and shedding all forms of negativity to utilise the best gift for all round development and progressive society.”
