My Life, My Passion: Love for the Elephants – Binoy Behera

 Binoy Behera, ADGP Bhuvaneswar had an excellent Interaction with the students in the guest lecture – My Life, My Passion.

He stressed the importance of means to reach the goal rather than the goal itself. Motivated students to study and become what they love. Asked the students to have a proper role model by giving the example of Lal Bahadur Shastriji’s life. Giving a comparison between the American and the Indian societies in perspective of caste, creed and language, stressed the need to have a new perspective for India and told well how corruption can destroy the state and the values of its citizens. He reminded the students the words of Martin Luther King that the values learned from the classroom today will decide the governance laws of tomorrow.

Beheraji presented his passion for wildlife by showing his studies on elephants that he has been doing since the past 25 years and how he survived an elephant attack.
