Had an excellent expert talk organised jointly by the Department of Defence and Strategic Studies and the International Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University, on the topic “Mental Focus and Discipline to be a Global Leader.”
The session was delivered by Dr. Chaerin Kim, Faculty Member, University of Massachusetts Boston (USA); Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London; and Grammy Awards Voting Member (from 2024). Her husband Mr. Shiva was also present during the programme.
Dr. Kim’s talk offered deep insights into how mental clarity, consistent discipline, emotional balance, and long-term vision shape global leadership. She beautifully blended her international academic experience with inspiring real-life examples, motivating students to build focus, resilience, and a global mindset.
The event was held on Tuesday, 9th December 2025 at 12:00 noon at YC-NISDA Library Hall, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Building, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune – 411007.
Faculty members, researchers, and students participated actively and greatly benefited from her impactful session.
