“Our students have to know themselves and connect firmly with their roots, values and most importantly their Indian culture. Identity is always important but we also encourage them to look beyond, recognise and value the incredible opportunities that are created by the diversity and richness that is there across our planet,” remarked Dr. Mohan.
