Vivek Atray, former IAS officer and TEDx Motivational Speaker was the keynote speaker at ET TECH X 2024, delivered an inspiring talk on visionary and dynamic academic leadership. He began by emphasizing that it is possible to be both dynamic and calm at the same time. Vivek Atray also highlighted the significance of spirituality in leadership, stating that those connected to spirituality understand the importance of winning the inner battles of life.
He stressed that leadership is essential in every field, particularly in academics, as academic leaders have the responsibility of shaping the future. "Our most important stakeholders, the youth," Vivek Atray said, "are the future of the world." He emphasized that education is not just about imparting knowledge but also about nurturing human beings, humanity, and the future.
Vivek Atray also addressed the sgnificant role of parents in shaping young minds, pointing out that many parents have not positioned themselves as role models for their children. Sharing an anecdote, he mentioned how children often aspire to become police officers, doctors, or engineers but rarely express a desire to be teachers. This, he explained, reflects society’s failure to encourage the next generation to value and pursue careers in education.
He also delved into the concept of happiness and goodwill, emphasizing that money, power, fame, and popularity are transient and cannot provide lasting inner happiness. Vivek Atray illustrated this with a touching story about a teacher who, after dedicating 35 years of his life to teaching, was recognized and honoured by a former student at a bus stand. The student’s wife shared how her husband often spoke of the teacher as his greatest inspiration.
Vivek Atray’s talk was a profound reminder of the impact of quality education, the importance of visionary academic leadership, and the pursuit of true happiness.
