Principal of the college, Prof. Sudha Katyal appreciated the efforts of our frontline warriors and paramedic staff during these times but specifically mentioned the vital contribution of Class 4 workers of the college and everywhere including chowkidars, aayas, malis and drivers without whom it would have been very difficult to keep the things going in these testing times.
