His Holiness the Dalai Lama who had been received in the traditional Tibetan way by students of the College spoke about the importance of the Indian civilization, its thinkers and teachings of the gurus that has always stood up to the test of times. He mentioned how Karuna or Compassion is a determinant in the evaluation of Indian culture. He referred to the twentieth century as a century of progress but also a century of war and violence. He called upon the younger generation who are the true inheritors of the twenty-first century to make this century into a century of conflict resolution, a century of dialogue. His message was simple: action is of greater necessity than belief. His Holiness also took questions from students and explained to them the essence of spirituality. He signed the Visitor’s Book with his message.
The programme was followed by the Prize and Award Distribution Ceremony. Eminent Alumni and meritorious students were given medals, prizes and certificates for their contribution. The Function was followed by lunch for all the guests, students, faculty and alumni.
