He highlighted that an individual can achieve any goal if the person works dedicatedly for it. He advised the students to push the boundaries and to explore new opportunities, constantly.
Talking about Indian Political system, Sh Sheoran praised the democratic proceedings in the country and pointed that despite selecting their own minister, 30% of population do not approach the politicians to resolve the issues. He called upon the gathering to develop an approachable attitude and contact the minister of their constituency with any issue they face, only then politicians will be able to help and create a better society.
Sh Sheoran urged the budding legal professionals to maintain discipline in the profession and averred that legal profession gives the opportunity to serve the society, thereby, they should always help the needy in their fight for justice.
