He encouraged the audience present to try and get the maximum out of the system by forming study groups and making use of resources like online video lectures.
Ms. Ranjana Mittal(National winner of Trainers award) also gave a short motivational speech.
After a sumptuous lunch, a GBA(Group Building Activity) session was conducted which involved a music quiz.
