He invoked a passion for books in the audience in an interactive session in which a volley of questions from the dias kept the audience busy and amused. The thought-provoking lecture invited the audience to consider issues on national safety and social harmony bringing fresh perspective to bear on important matters.
The worthy Registrar Professor Sanjay Sharma presented a bouquet to Prof Chauhan who looked flamboyant in his patent Rajasthani turban instilling liveliness in the atmosphere. His talk was appreciated for demonstrated understanding of power dynamics as he sought to shed light on some aspects of recent Jat agitation in Haryana.
Apart from a lively audience of young students , the dignitaries included Dean , FET Dr Sandeep Grover and enthusiastic faculty members including Professor Arvind Gupta.

It was a delight to conduct the session, though time was a constraint as the issues needed intense churning and the programme ended with a hope that similar events will be organized to thresh out solutions to the nation's persisting concerns.
