Dr. S.B. Kharosekar presented the Annual Report for the academic year 2016-17.

Dr. Kharosekar informed the dignitaries and parents about the various curricular, co-curricular and extra curricular activities conducted by the College throughout the year. Mrs. Malati Kalmadi encouraged the students to not only dream big but also to concentrate, work hard with passion to realize that dream.  

The Chief Guest Mr. Manish Agrawal said that the first five years in a young professional’s life are as important as the first five years in a small baby’s life. He said that these are the formative years of their

professional, personal and social life and hence they should utilize these initial years to the fullest. Mr. Agrawal asked students to become an entrepreneur, and a job provider than a job seeker. He said that, “Entrepreneurship is not a job but a life style,” and  that job finishes while lifestyle stays.  He said the students must enjoy life but at the same time, work hard, show immense patience and stay hungry and stay foolish to achieve their goals. Mr. Agrawal urged students to stay away from the Social Media and channelize their energy to be happy and successful in life.

Mrs. Rashmi Agrawal said that Love, Truth, and Passion drive one to become successful in life. She said that it

is still very difficult for women professionals to break the glass ceilings at the workplaces. She said women have every right to choose a job of their choice. If they choose family over job then for that too they should give their 100 percent as every job demands complete dedication irrespective of one’s gender.
