This year’s theme, Viksith Bharat (Developed India), was highlighted by our Director, Dr. Suresh Rao, who addressed the gathering with a thought-provoking message. He emphasized the importance of being proactive and responsible citizens, urging everyone to take a stand against corruption and societal issues rather than merely blaming the government.
