According to Prof. Dheeraj Sharma, Director, “It is a privilege and honor to welcome Shri Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri Sir. Movies are one of the most powerful mediums for society to gather information and learn new lessons. In the Indian context, it is with deep regret that we have not done a great job through the power of our movies. Our Film Industry should uplift the self-esteem of our youth so that they become confident about themselves. The individuals like Mr. Vivek Agnihotri ji, who highlighted incidents in his last film of which people are not even aware. It has given us another perspective to think about. Start thinking about alternative perspectives, enhance your thought process, always go for both the perspectives of each situation".
In his address Shri Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, Indian Film Director said “In today’s time, this entire world is going through crises and that crisis is trust. We have become trust deficient. Every moment of our life has become a speculation. We are marketing ourselves on social platforms. We should invest time in our thoughts, emotions to make our decisions. To inspire the future generations we should not talk about gaps, weaknesses etc. We should focus on growth and trust to win the race. Today’s World, Trust value is missing in individual behaviors".
In India, with such diversification of our cultures, we all are living with each other because we know somewhere we are for each other. In the world, people trust Indians. They have this thought that Indians have loyalty and faith. Due to this reason most of CEO’s Directors in many MNCs are Indians.

IIM Rohtak is ranked 8th among public management institutions in India for the second time in a row as per Outlook India Ranking 2022.
