During the lecture, the Vice Chancellor outlined a clear framework for success: "The journey towards any academic or professional goal begins with recognizing a problem, defining it clearly, and then seeking results through methodical and rigorous research." The Vice Chancellor stressed that success, whether in academia or the professional world, does not come from simply following established paths, but from the ability to identify challenges, understand them deeply, and apply creative and evidence-based solutions.

Prof. Rai explained that, in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing landscape, students and professionals alike must develop a keen ability to recognize the problems they face. “It is essential to ask the right questions,” Prof. Rai said. “Only by defining the problem correctly can we begin to find meaningful, lasting solutions.”

Prof. Rai concluded the lecture with a powerful call to action for students, staff, and faculty: "Whether you are advancing your academic studies or progressing in your professional career, take the time to understand the problems you’re facing, define them clearly, and engage in rigorous research to solve them. Only then can you achieve the success you aspire to."
