Captain Vinay Singh started the session by saying “Leaders Are Made, Not Born”, where he emphasized the different managerial qualities to be possessed by a leader from instances of the life of a veteran. He shared the valuable instances when the project management skills are exhibited by the soldier in his day to day life. He enlightened the student fraternity about the qualities of humility, honesty, and consideration which are the go-to characteristics any leader should have to bring goodness wherever they go. He emphasized the fact that how perceptions are changing with time and how liberalization has made us evolve but the life of a soldier is still encompassed within the boundaries of a non-digital life.
