These students do not have much exposure to the outside world and their language and communication skill is also not at par with other students in Delhi and big cities. However, we take it as our duty to help them to overcome these shortcomings and ensure that they are no less than any other students in these skills when they complete their courses with us and they can make the best career for themselves.

Any suggestions/messages that you would like to give to the current youth?

“Students should focus on the changing demands of the industries and adjust themselves according to it”

There is no shortcut to hard work. Hard work is only the way to achieve success. If the student wants to learn, they should learn with their concepts and their own choice and they should learn in-depth. If they have the concept knowledge then no one can stop them, they will be on the top.
