Principal’s Message
It’s a matter of immense pleasure for me to write a message on the occasion of release
of e-newsletter of our Institute for the odd semester of 2019-20 academic year. It is very much
essential that each Institute comes out with its own magazine which comprises major activities,
students’ and faculty achievements, and other contributions.
This Institute is doing excellent in academics, placements, sports and cultural activities.
I must say that this news letter is beautifully compiled memories of various events which took
place in last six months. In addition to details of technical and non-technical events, it also has
placement statistics, information about entrepreneurship awareness drive and alumni events as
well as achievements.
I convey heartiest congratulations to each and every student and faculty who contributed
to make it possible for the release of e-news letter. I am sure that the publication team will come
out with e-news letter every six months. In coming years, we wish that students, faculty and staff
may contribute their own creations in this e-news letter.
On this occasion, I also express my best wishes to all the students and faculty for a suc-
cessful next semester.
Dr. R. A. Thakker
