A Message to Young Minds by Dr Abhijit Mitra, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor of University on 11th September 2025. He said that he had privilege of addressing the undergraduate and diploma students of Veterinary Science, Fisheries Science, Biotechnology, and Paraveterinary programs at DUVASU, Mathura.
It was more of a heartfelt conversation than a formal lecture, where he touched upon the importance of soft skills, strong minds, and sound health. He reminded them that today’s generation is far smarter, more prudent, and more capable than we ever were, even amidst countless distractions.
He urged them to remain positive and hardworking, yet also playful and natkhat – to carry the joy of being young, even to the extent of being a little “idiot” in the best sense of the word: curious, carefree, and creative, but never disruptive.
The energy and laughter in that hall convinced that the future of veterinary and allied sciences rests in very good hands.
