In my opinion such programs should be organized at the beginning of academic year for freshers to help them imbibe positive values since the very inception of their professional lives."
Key note Speaker Mr. Shubha Vilas Das shared - "There is one famous saying that “the quality of communication with world outside determines my success but the quality of communication with the world inside determines the happiness”.
What is success and the first definition of success is public victory. Public victory means what the world thinks about you. A lot of people thinks success means public victory if people say I mean successful that means I am successful.
The second way of looking at success is private victory. Private victory means what I think about myself."
We're extremely grateful to our Donors, Supporters and Volunteers by whose hard efforts we could put up this program successfully and we hope and stive to organize more such events in time to come.
