Speaking on the occasion, Chief Guest - Shri Bhanu Pratap Singh Verma , Hon'ble Minister of State, MSME, stated, “I’m extremely delighted to be present here today and would like to congratulate Amity for organizing such a wonderful conference which promotes and encourages entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership amongst the youth of our country. During the COVID-19 crisis, the government has taken many steps to help the MSME sector and various schemes are being run by the government for the upliftment of this sector, under the guidance and leadership of our honourable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji. Many MSME units which had earlier shut down, have been restarted by our Hon’ble Prime Minister who has allocated a package of nearly Rs. 4.5 lakh crore, specially for this sector. The sector received the financial support of approximately Rs 3 lakh crore from the government during this period, which helped in reviving the sector. The MSME sector contributes to nearly 30% of our country’s GDP and provides employment to approximately 11 crore people. With the government’s help and support, we will see further growth of the sector in the near future which will contribute to the development of our country. I would also like to congratulate all the winners of Amity who have won prizes in different categories, during this conference.”

Chauhan, when I started my Film Institute, Whistling Woods. He has been my first Guru and mentor for starting this institute. It is only by following his principles that I could establish Whistling Woods successfully.” Sharing a piece of advice for Amity students, Shri Ghai added, “Always think beyond the obvious and never stop learning as one can learn from anywhere and there is no end to learning. In order to be successful, one must develop leadership skills and lead by example.
