students to become a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being to
train them to live with enthusiasm, direction and with a sense of
purpose.
In spite of busy schedules for being the Vice-Chancellor of the
university, Prof. Chakrabarti willingly takes the pain to encourage the
students to appreciate rather than to criticize and leaves no
opportunity for them to drift away and waste their precious time of
life.
By virtue of separate special classes being lectured him, the students
of the university are encouraged to make a habit of doing things now,
develop an attitude of gratitude, get into continuous education program,
built positive self-esteem, stay away from negative influences, learn to
do things that need to be done, start the day with a positive attitude.

University’s students are at a premium.
