She emphasized that when education is integrated with practical exposure, skill development, and hands-on training, students become capable of making meaningful contributions to society and the economy. Dr. Khosla further remarked that the vision of the National Education Policy 2020 is to create job creators rather than job seekers, and HMV is working towards that objective. Through real-life business experiences involving marketing, finance, customer engagement, digital platforms, and innovation, the students have developed confidence, leadership qualities, and problem-solving skills while proving that young women can redefine success in every sphere. She added that entrepreneurship is not merely about starting a business but also about learning self-reliance, leadership, decision-making, risk management, and social responsibility. By transforming small ideas into successful enterprises, HMV students have demonstrated that determination coupled with proper guidance can turn aspirations into reality. Congratulating Dr. Seema Khanna, the mentoring faculty, and all participating students, Dr. Khosla described the achievement as the outcome of collective dedication and a culture of excellence at HMV. She expressed confidence that the institution’s students will continue to set new benchmarks in entrepreneurship while contributing significantly to the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat and women empowerment.
