Addressing the gathering, Dr. (Prof.) Balvinder Shukla, Vice Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, said, “Amity has always believed in imbibing human and cultural values, and it is the strong belief of our Founder President, Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, that all the important occasions at Amity must commence by conducting a havan and seeking the blessings of the Almighty. The Research Scholars must work on their time management skills and dedicate ample time to their research thoroughly. Also, they must bear in mind the area of research which they select, as it must have a societal impact and contribute to the development of our country. Research and innovation is the key focus area through which one can contribute to nation building and change the world for the better. Without research and innovation, one cannot dream of an “Aatm Nirbhar Bharat” which is the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister. Amity has the best mentors and guides who are always willing to extend their support to the Research Scholars and guide them at each and every step.”
