Principal Dr. Sapna Nanda in her speech congratulated the Chief Guest and all others present on the occasion and threw light on the significance of this day. Dr. Nanda highlighted the transformation of India from Sankalp Yug, an Era of Resolution to the period of ‘Sidhhi Yug’, an Era of Accomplishment.

All of the academicians need to make tireless efforts in this direction so that India can be a leading nation of the world and we can fulfill the dream of Viksit Bharat.
