“To be a great role model by demonstrating hard work and perseverance"

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth?

“Dedicate yourself to being disciplined in your approach and consistent in your actions”

 I strongly believe that investment in knowledge pays the best interest. In this current pandemic situation, the world is changing at an unprecedented pace. To survive in this state of affairs, students should intensify their knowledge base and adaptability in attending online classes. 

Presently, the companies are demanding only skilled individuals from a large pool of graduates. Therefore, it is very important to have an excellent skill set while passing your degree.
