A formal welcome programme was organized by the students, with Mrs. Shailaja Kumari T.G. serving as the convener of the session. 80 students took part in this session and actively involved themselves in the activities. The primary objective of organizing this session was successfully achieved – to instill a strong value system among the students, helping them recognize that a well-mannered attitude is just as crucial as their skills in fostering global competencies.
