Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen. The event was a joint venture of HMV,
Institution Innovation Council and National Commission for women. The session

their skills free of cost and prepare themselves for the professional world.

guest, Principal Dr. Ajay Sareen remarked that if we want to give a direction
to the society, we must educate and empower its women. She proudly announced
the beginning of the celebration of the Foundation Day. She also advised the
students to be confident and accept themselves the way they are. Harping on
