Vinod Agnihotri is stressed the need for Positivity in all streams whether it is art, sports, politics and others. He appreciated the PAF efforts towards positivity in this era of selfish & self-centered society. Now a days everything is on internet, people tend to read or watch sensational news/story which are mostly negative. This is a very big challenge for today’s media and is required to maintain fine balance. Social media has empowered people which is positive side of it but at the same time it is also being used for spreading rumors etc. In the program, every speaker & panelists stressed upon the need for re-attempt after each failure to achieve success which was very much the theme of conclave i.e.Yes I Can.
