Dr. Atul Chauhan, Chancellor Amity University, interacted with the participants and motivated them to become the best versions of themselves. Reflecting on the foundational core of Amitian values, the Chancellor shared the profound vision of Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, Founder President of Amity Education Group, reminding students, “Life is 20 percent of what you achieve academically, but 80 percent is how you connect with people.”, he further added.
He urged the incoming batch to break away from exclusive circles or regional groups, encouraging them instead to fully immerse themselves with one another over the next 12 days to forge unbreakable, lifelong bonds. Commending the exceptional efforts of the Amity University Summer School team, Dr. Atul Chauhan fondly recalled the inception of the program. He highlighted how the diverse academic exposure offered by AUSS empowers students to unlock global opportunities, with many alumni subsequently entering prestigious Ivy League and top-tier global institutions.
