A motivational video was played and students learnt that participation is more important than winning.
The youngest eminent speaker, Fr. Avinash Lobo SJ & Fr Arun Panackal SJ , spoke about how today’s youths are misguided by the external factors and stressed that we should judge the people meticulously. They also highlighted the difference between a human being and being human. According to the speaker, human being was created by God and being human is our own choice. It was really an enlightening note. Fr. Avinash & Fr Arun threw light on the important aspects of a person life i.e. family, friends, society and social media.
