UAi University Chancellor Tarun Anand Successfully Completes Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Reaching an Altitude of 13,550 Feet
Universal AI University’s founder and chancellor, Prof. Tarun Anand, has successfully finished the difficult trekking expedition on Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal. He had to reach an altitude of 13,550 feet by traveling more than 50 kilometers via mountainous paths with changing weather.
The creator of India’s first artificial intelligence-based university, Prof. Anand, demonstrates yet another accomplishment that is in line with all the qualities he has been advocating in his career. Discipline, perseverance, adaptability, and willingness to challenge yourself were among those attributes he highlighted in the context of being the founder and chancellor of Universal AI University. He believes that along with teaching technologies and business skills, it is essential to educate the right mindset as well.
Completing an Annapurna Base Camp trek, which is considered among the most challenging experiences of the Himalayas, means possessing great willpower and mental strength. Besides the Annapurna Base Camp, Prof. Anand was able to complete the Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters), Kanchenjunga Base Camp (5,143 meters), and Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 meters). Besides, the professor has done many trekking expeditions in the Western Ghats.
Commenting on the achievement, Prof. Tarun Anand, Chancellor of Universal AI University, expressed his views, saying, “Mountains teach us something difficult to achieve even in the best classrooms. Mountains will test one’s endurance, resilience, determination, and willingness to move on under uncertainty. I started trekking at the age of 12 and learned that these values are necessary for a successful leader in the future world powered by artificial intelligence. It is always believed at the Universal AI University that learning should contribute towards the development of character as well as competence. This trek has rekindled my belief that true learning begins when you leave the comfort zone of your life.”
It should be noted that this success perfectly matches the educational philosophy of Universal AI University that emphasizes training of leaders with integrity, passion, and professionalism as well as prepares students to tackle future challenges with their experience. In particular, the educational philosophy of the university, which was founded by Prof. Anand, focuses on innovation, leadership, sustainability, and future-oriented skills.
As humanity learns more and more how essential it is to be a resilient, adaptive person in order to become a future-oriented leader, this achievement by Prof. Anand will be an inspiration for numerous students, teachers, and professionals.
