• They are offered a platform to compete in various national and international events.
• They are also called upon to address societal issues and understand the problems of the society.
• Visits to old aged homes, orphanages and rehabilitation centres are organized for the students so as to establish Emotional Connect with the lesser fortunate sections of the society.
• Social and Emotional connect coupled with learning skills, is what the true essence of an engineer is.
Having assured the parents best of education to their children, the chairman called upon the parents to:
• Stimulate their children to utilize the facilities available in the campus and learn creative skills.
• To ignite in their children a spark of responsibility towards their family and the society.
• To develop a friendly relationship with their children and closely monitor every activity of theirs.
• To teach basic life skills to make their children self-dependent, reliable and employable.
• To improve their child’s communication and interaction skills.
• To groom their children in terms of personality.
• Do not always keep your children cocooned in your protective fold, let him/her free.
• Expose them to domestic affairs so that they become more responsible not only at the college/workplace but also at home.
