Prof. KD Purohit, OSD to the Honb’le Chief Minister and looking after the higher education in the state presided over the function and addressed the job seekers and the job providers. He said that these are the tough times but the tough times don’t last while the tough people do. He further emphasized that if the youngsters have to succeed in this competitive world, in these times we should work more and talk less.

Shri SK Goyal, Chief Guest during his interaction with Shri Rajeev Verma promised to extend full financial support to those students who are keen to become job providers rather than job seekers by setting up their own small scale units.
