Addressing the huge gathering of students, Major General RK Jha said, “Failure is the reason of my success. Any successful man who says he has not failed, is a liar. This is the story we carry from battlefield.” He emphasised on learning the art of understanding which he called a science and that there are three kinds of understanding: individual understanding, collective understanding and group understanding. “You must develop all these three kinds of understanding to create an ecosystem where you are willing to listen to others’ points of view, willing to adapt, do a little give and take to come to a common cause. Once you develop this understanding to totality of the situation then you put your mighty shoulders behind to achieve success”, he advised the students.
