Drawing inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita and Swami Vivekananda, he said acceptance and steadfastness in duty were his guiding principles. “Power may go, but truth will not,” he stated, reflecting on his decision to resign from the Chief Minister’s post on moral grounds.

The event was presided over by Vice Chancellor Prof Sat Prakash Bansal. Lok Sabha MP Dr Rajiv Bhardwaj, the special guest, described Shanta Kumar as a “Rajarishi”, a statesman whose life has exemplified public service, simplicity, and integrity. “I could not take initiation like Arjun,” Dr Bhardwaj, “but like Ekalavya, I have tried to follow his path from afar”.
