Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Urges XIMB Students to Bring Change in Society

Bhubaneswar, December 10, 2006: Addressing the faculty and students of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB), His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of Art of Living Foundation fame urged students to instill self-confidence to become dynamic future leaders in order to bring changes in the society.

"As a young dynamic manager and administrator, you should have hope and dream for the society. We need a trauma free society, a disease free body, a sorrow free soul and a confusion free mind," he emphasised.

"What is needed in the students is to build self-confidence. The attention span has reduced by 70% in the last 10 years, and similarly, the retention power of youth has also reduced," he said. He also explained how the Art of Living Foundation has been involved in helping over 70,000 youth under the Youth Leadership Training Programme, and a majority of them are now working in different industries, and many of them have become entrepreneurs also.
