The former Deputy Chief of Army Staff later interacted with the student community and the teaching fraternity to spread awareness on National Security Issues. In his address to the gathering, he spoke about the threats and challenges that face the nation and what the youth as the Future of India will have to do to confront these issues. With his vast experience spanning over four decades in the Indian Army he told the gathering that India has it all; the Comprehensive National Power which encompasses the hard power, the economic, the political, the social, and the military; but how astutely and where exactly we use both the hard power and the soft power is what will lead India far and beyond. All it needs he said was the right leadership and the youth of today can carry us on with it. Lt. Gen (Dr.) N. S. Malik galvanized the students and urged them with patriotic fervour to be an Indian first and build a strong India.

Dr. Umesh M. Bhushi, Principal, asked the students and the audience to get into the act and introspect on making India a strong and powerful nation. He said that at least twice in a year; once on Independence Day and the other on Republic Day, we should with gratitude, learn to hoist the National Flag in remembrance of all the soldiers and the great leaders who gave us a free India.
