Dr. Subhash Chandra, Chairman, Essel Group and ZEE, today addressed over 4,000 students of Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar for the next episodes of the popular youth show – Dr. Subhash Chandra (DSC) Show. The DSC Show has successfully completed 34 episodes travelling to various cities across India, including Mumbai, Noida, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Ghaziabad, Pune and now Jalandhar. Lovely Group Chairman Mr Ramesh Mittal, Vice-Chairman Mr Naresh Mittal, LPU Chancellor Mr Ashok Mittal, Pro Chancellor Mrs Rashmi Mittal welcomed Dr Chandra and his team at the campus and presented a memento to him.
Dr. Chandra spent great time with budding entrepreneurs and guided students towards establishing robust and successful businesses of their choice. Speaking about the opportunities in metros v/s mini-metros v/s small towns, Dr. Chandra said, “With technology the boundary between small towns and metros is fast diminishing. Today there are ample opportunities for an individual to do business. It does not matter which town or mini metro a person comes from, as long as he/she has the will and desire to nurture their dreams.” Urging students to remove the constraint that they are from a small-town, Dr. Chandra inspired the students with his life experience and advised them that, “You need to spot your talent and start with small opportunities in your place. Belief and faith in your idea is very vital.”
Advising parents on girls’ potential and capabilities, Dr. Chandra said, “Girls should be provided equal opportunities to rise and to get education. They should be allowed to choose their respective careers based on their aptitude and talent since today there is equal opportunity for both boys and girls.” About diverse challenges in life, Dr. Chandra stated, “One always faces challenges and this makes it imperative for an individual to take bigger risks. The secret is to never give-up on your thoughts, ideas or desires and to keep asking the question, ‘Why Not?’ whenever an individual is faced with rejection.” “The question ‘Why Not?’ is the key to an individual’s success”, Dr. Chandra emphasized. The show will be aired on Saturday at 10 pm on Zee News and 7pm on Zee Business and on Sundays at 11 am on both Zee News & Zee Business. This show will also be aired on other channels of Zee Media.
A self-made man, Mr Chandra has consistently demonstrated his ability to identify new businesses and lead them on the path to success. From trading goods, setting up a packaging industry to opening up theme parks and multiplexes, and creating India’s largest and most profitable TV media group and launching an English newspaper, Dr. Chandra has travelled a long way. It was Dr. Subhash Chandra’s vision that helped give birth to the satellite TV industry in India in the year 1992.
