In his speech, Dr Vij spoke on the importance of ethics in youth and pointed out that those who think knowledge is power supreme must remember that Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. A person educated in mind and not in morals is indeed a menace to society. He also said that Ethics is all about knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do and reminded them in a lighter vein that Einstein’s theory of Relativity may apply in Physics but not in Ethics. No one has doubt that the wise words of Lt Gen Mahesh Vij inspired the entire gathering.
