The top 10 percent of the batch made it to the Dean’s List for their distinctive performance in various activities.
Speaking to the audience, Chief Guest, K P Singh, Chairman of the Board, DLF Ltd. said, “The challenge in India is – how do we manage growth? Our old mindsets of thinking small and managing shortages come in the way. We need to think big and create surplus. This is possible only through change in education and training of bureaucrats, policy makers, and businessmen alike. It is up to you, the younger generation to help India grow.”
