Date: 20th April 2018

I am sharing few lines here about the convention , but you may get a lot from those who were there.

We had nearly 20 colleagues who had owned different responsibilities and gave their best to the convention.

They all have a job and a family also. And still they gave their best..

Up to midnight all were there  to support each other. This spirit of togetherness made everything possible.

With the help of these 20 we can easily conduct a convention of 2500 participants.

All the faculties reached before time.
