K. Chakravarthi, Chancellor of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, and a retired IAS officer, gave away the prizes. This was followed by the divine benediction of Sri Sathya Sai Baba through his recorded words: “The one who can win over the mind can win over anything in the universe. There is no greater power than the mind. Mind is the primal cause responsible for either bondage or liberation. Man is unable to control his mind today. If you control your mind, you will be able to control anything.”
