PU students meet with Dr. Neerja Birla an inspirational activist during the annual Internation tour in Mumbai.

In every individual, there is a  leader within waiting to be unleashed however, it takes adequate nurturing and a conducive environment to bring out the character into use. Hence PU has introduced the internation leadership program as a means to unshackle a spirit of true leadership within its students. The Chatra Sansad and PU birthed initiative has been acting as a platform that has been allowing the students to come face to face with an endless list of inspirational leaders across India. During the 2022 internation leadership tour in Mumbai, the students went forth to meet  Dr. Neerja Birla who is an exemplary mother, wife, and philanthropist. The students were provided with an opportunity to learn from her years of experience in upholding the lives of the community.

In a society where mental health is not prioritized Dr. Neerja Birla chose a path to be a mental health activist to end the stigma while promoting the treatment modalities in the specialty. Being an educationist she also started a movement known as Mpower to edify and be the voice of the people. Through the interactive questions, the students grasped vital knowledge and delved into the insights about becoming competent youth. Parul University continues to encourage its students to expand their abilities beyond the borders of the classrooms to make a contribution to society and the country at large.
