As a first step of this initiative he wanted to have a face to face interaction with students and interested faculty members. It all started with a scintillating ice breaker which made the students to shook of their heads. The students began to think regarding the purpose of Engineering and understood the importance of setting goals which would ultimately leads them to success.

The hard work, determination, perseverance and struggle which he had to conquer in his life to lead a successful life.
