Not only would they know and learn new topics and subjects, but a broader horizon would open up in front of them. Learning the art of speaking in public while managing a precise power point presentation, the right body language, and the skill to handle questions from the audience are other important aspects that our students get to train themselves within the process of attending such weekly/ fortnightly seminars. We also plan to invite speakers from different disciplines from varied Institutions who would enrich our faculties and students with their worthy talks and valuable time. In near future, our students would also be competent enough to deliver such seminars from their end. All the speakers are felicitated with a small token of appreciation for their time and effort towards presenting a beautiful seminar.
