Interest among the students and faculty members is one of the challenges that is faced by almost all the institutes. However, by following the path of our elders we can address this.

However, any new technology can substantiate, but cannot be as efficient as the former.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth and the aspiring students?

The youth must focus on valuing the value of faculty members, institute and nation and start thinking to take their institute to the next level, which will ultimately reflect the name of the nation. Also, students need to aim at becoming edupreneurs, etc.
