In a bold, heartfelt, and transformative Central Expert Lecture under SIP 2025, Dr. Gaurang Gandhi turned the lens inward — challenging students to look beyond academic scores and towards their true identity. Held at VGEC as the C9 Expert Talk, this session redefined youth not as a stage of rebellion, but as a power-packed force of self-reflection, energy, responsibility, and purpose. Through real questions like “Why were you born?” and “What is success beyond marks?”, Dr. Gandhi guided students toward one fundamental truth — life isn’t a race to win, it’s a journey to understand. With practical insights and spiritual undertones, he emphasized the worth of the human soul, the role of mindset, and the need for internal engineering. He urged students to move from autopilot to awareness, from validation to self-worth, and from imitation to purpose. Dr. Gandhi reminded everyone that your body is a tool, your soul is a compass, and your life has a role no one else can fulfill. With closing remarks by Dr. I. N. Trivedi emphasized conscious living and character building, this session didn’t just impact minds — it stirred hearts. In an era of resumes and grades, it reminded young engineers of the ultimate blueprint: to become the best version of themselves.
