 Draw the relevant conclusion Presentation of the Project Work

● The project work can be in the form of Power Point Presentation/Exhibition/Skit

/albums/files/song and dance or culture show /story telling/debate/panel discussion, paper
presentation and so on. Any of these activities which are suitable to visually
impaired/differently-abled candidates can be performed as per the choice of the student.
