Finally addressing the audience was the Chief Guest for the program, Shri Arun Jaitley who needs no introduction. The prominent politician captivated the audience with his frank talk and rich experience on the national stage. His words on student life spurred the assembled students to set even higher standards of excellence and instilled among them a sense of national pride essential to making a responsible and productive citizen.
The question answer round that followed shed light on important national matters and provided a rare opportunity to learn from someone who was actually influencing the direction our country is going to take. Touching upon matters including Anna Hazare’s political ambition, left front policies and the role of opposition in a parliamentary democracy, Shri Arun Jaitley provided the students an insightful view into Indian politics and the functioning of a democracy. Not only were his answers informative but they also presented a new line of reasoning thereby broadening the horizons of our students.
