The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ahmad in his address to the audience touched on the great potential of the university, its world class faculty and world class facilities, which combined with a culturally diverse cohort of students, makes it one of the leaders in the field of education in India and abroad.

The Guest of Honour, Maj. Gen. Bakshi expressed his privilege in being a part of this event and remarked with amazement at the Indoor Shooting Facility created within the campus. Maj. Gen.

Mr. Shubham Gupta, founder of the Soul Shot Group took the audiences and dignitaries through the GD Goenka Shooting Range and remarked on the excellence of its execution and the perfect opportunity it offers to aspiring shooters to come and practice shooting.

The much awaited interactive session with Mr. Abhinav Bindra, the Chief Guest saw great response from the audiences. Though short, Mr. Bindra gave some great pointers for sports as well as life as he talked of how one must take both success and failure with balance. He said, “Success, and long term success in sports, is about learning to fail. You are going to fail more than you succeed in Sports. It is always about getting better”. Mr. Bindra while pointing to his long career, put the gist of his learning on dealing with stress when he said, “The acceptance of stress is critical. You accept the stress, you accept the pressure which comes with competitive life. You focus on the process and seek joy in the effort, the joy of the journey”.

The interactive session was followed by a felicitation of some eminent achievers from the fields of shooting. The team behind the conceptualization of the GD Goenka Shooting Range too was felicitated with souvenirs of appreciation. The event ended with the playing of the national anthem and a formal opening of the shooting facility with the first shots fired by Mr. Bindra and Maj. Gen. Bakshi before it was opened for a trial to the audiences present.
