“What India needs today is ‘Right of quality education’ for the youth with good faculties and resources; than just ‘Right of education’ which may not fill the gap for need of good education, due to the lack of fine resources," said Subhash Ghai supporting his students with the Seminar series of ‘Inspiration'

Over 140 speakers speaking across India, 38 young media achievers below 35 years of age each were awarded as ‘Young Communication Achievers’, and some 4600 youths participating across India. It was an impressive start to the nationwide series of multi city campaigns.
“This time too some 63 speakers are slated to speak in these six cities, at least 15 young achievers will be awarded, and more than 2000 youths will participate in the event series”, informed Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury.
