He discussed about the essence of goal in one’s life. Life has three dimensions that must be in balance. These dimensions are Core, Career and Connectivity. Core means physical and mental health, Career means the profession and it is based upon ‘Grit’ i.e. Zeal. Zeal is also known as passion that is inherently built up through ‘Trust’. Trust can be earned through consistently working hard by practising, planning, proceeding with power and this finally converts into success.

Connectivity means the social tie-up with family members as well as the relationship with other people. It is bonding which is essential for profession and core factor of life. So, when we talk about successful life , it means a balance between Core, Career and Connectivity through the path of trust and its component i.e. humanity, transparency, reliability and capability.

Then, Dr. Gargi Parashar, Assistant Professor was called upon to give a PPt presentation of the department of geography to the new students.
