Day 2 of ResoFEST 2025 was graced by distinguished guests, including Shri Lavu Rathaiah, Founder & Chairman Vignan Group of Institutions; Shri N. V. Ramana, Retired 48th Chief Justice of India; Shri K. I. Varaprasad Reddy, Founder & Chairman of Shantha Biotechnics; Smt.

Shri N. V. Ramana said,
This is an age when you are carefree, filled with dreams and unbridled hope. Let me share a little wisdom I gained through my life. Today, we rely heavily on technology in this fast-changing internet era, and you may often get swayed by negative influences without even seeking them. Social media floods you with irrelevant noise, so be cautious. Never compare yourself with others, every person has a unique personality and intellect, and grows at their own pace. Have a clear goal and pursue it with focus. You may face stress from parents, peers, society, and faculty, unsure of what your future holds. But remember, opportunities today are vast; you need not struggle with a profession you don’t love. Follow your dreams. Don’t get carried away by what you see on social media or live in an illusionary world, most of it isn’t real. Avoid excessive time online. With moral science and life lessons missing in today’s education, you must consciously build such values yourself. Cinema too has a strong influence on youth, but real life and reel life are worlds apart; don’t get trapped in that imaginary space. The widening gap between urban and rural India brings challenges, so urban students must understand rural realities and societal issues to stay grounded. Participate in sports, they teach teamwork, discipline, leadership, and how to accept defeat. Develop hobbies to overcome stress. Remember, technology is only a tool; don’t become its slave. Your education should prepare you for life’s challenges. Life itself is the greatest teacher; the lessons it gives have no substitute. You are going to be invaluable assets to the nation as India rises to become a global leader.
Shri Lavu Rathaiah addressing the students said,
I am truly delighted to see my student, Purnachandar Rao, doing so well and leading this remarkable institution. You are now entering an extremely competitive phase with your Intermediate finals, EAMCET, JEE, and NEET ahead. The next three months will be among the most crucial in your academic journey. It is natural to feel pressure from faculty, parents, and even yourself, sometimes leading to stress or depression. But remember, the enthusiasm and confidence you carry today are your strongest tools to overcome this phase. As a teacher, here are a few thoughts that may help you navigate this period, set a clear goal and work steadily towards it, maintain a healthy diet and stay physically fit, ensure you get sound sleep, use your mobile phone wisely; try keeping your screen time under one hour a day, your success is often inversely proportional to the time spent on the phone. Work hard, give your best, trust your effort and remember, even if you don’t secure the rank you aimed for in EAMCET or other competitive exams, do not be disappointed. Opportunities today are far broader than just engineering or medicine. India is on the path to becoming a global leader, prepare yourself to be part of that incredible journey.
Varaprasad Reddy said,
India is a nation long known for its philosophical, scientific, health and economic wisdom, far ahead of its contemporaries for centuries. Even before the West understood culture, we had a rich heritage. India was a guiding light; 2000 years ago we had great centres of learning like Takshashila and Nalanda, offering knowledge to the world. Our ancestors were scientifically advanced, with discoveries in algebra, calculus, zero, space and geography. Seeing such a great nation in its present state is disheartening. As per the Global Knowledge Index, our rank is 75 and the question is, why? A nation declines when it lacks capable people and thought leaders. When we drifted from our culture and knowledge, we lost our bearings. Even after 75 years of independence, we still carry a slave mindset and follow an education system left behind by the British. Countries like China, Japan and France progressed using their own languages, while we continue the English legacy. After your education, many move abroad, especially to the USA, but remember, your responsibility is also to your motherland. Don’t be job seekers; be job providers. India produces engineers, doctors and advocates every year, but starting a business can employ thousands. What we truly lack is responsible, committed political leadership. As leaders, you can transform the nation’s destiny and restore its past glory. Some of you, with your education and drive, can provide that dynamic leadership. Reflect on it and work towards it.
Shri Sai Dharam Tej said,
enjoy your time in college, because you will never come back here, also focus on your studies, have fun, build lifetime cherishable memories for yourself. My humble request to you all is to wear a helmet when you ride a bike.
Smt. Riti Raj said,
there are few things I want to convey, I was not athletic as a student, was studious, but my marks were limited to 75 or 80%, while college toppers got 90 or 95%. But, when I joined National Law University in Delhi, I understood that never we should let marks define us, if you are capable of getting 75% today you are capable of getting 99% or 100% tomorrow. It depends on you. In the same subject I got 39 out of 100 and also got 95 out of 100, I didn’t change, my mindset changed. I just want to tell you to give your 100%, let the results come in whatever way. The results are not in your hand, your effort is, your discipline is, so be your best. Every individual is unique, do not compare yourself with others. Mind is very powerful, if you decide something, nobody can stop you. There is only one person standing between you and your dreams, not your teacher, not your parents, not your friends, it is just you, you decide, you find your dream and you go get it. To the parents, I want to request you to give the opportunity of choice to your children, make them intelligent enough, smart enough, so that they can make good choice, because children will not always going to stay with you, they will move on. So always make correct choices, your choices will define your life, your decision will define your life.
