JAMMU, Sept 2: Padma Shri Dr Kiran Seth, founder of Spic Macay (Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth) and Professor Emeritus at IIT Delhi today visited the campus of Jaypee University of Information Technology (JUIT).
In this regard an event was organized by Prof Rajendra Kumar Sharma, Vice Chancellor of JUIT.
The event was attended by a large number of students and faculty members.
Dr Kiran Seth began his lecture with an engaging question to the youth; “What does Indian history mean to you?”
This thought-provoking question set the tone for the rest of his lecture, as he aimed to deepen the audience’s understanding of Indian Culture and its relevance in the modern world.
One of the central themes of Dr. Seth’s lecture was the importance of Indian music in daily life.

Through simple yet effective exercises, he highlighted how yoga can correct our posture, alleviate stress and bring about a sense of calm and balance.
