It’s not even a year, and we have done it. Conducting
our very own 1st National Conference on
“Emerging Issues of Corporate Social Responsibility on November 26th and 27th.”
This is a
big thing. A very big thing when we consider the students and teachers juggling
between working real hard to make this event a star marked one and between the
usual college routine. The internals, the project submissions, the
presentations, and preparations. And yet, no one seems tired, no one
complaining, and everyone just as excited, committed, and dedicated. After all,
working for family isn’t pressure, is it?
Giving
all of you a little sneak peek in our endeavor....
