through education”.
In
a heartfelt speech on ethical conduct, Chairman Mr Dev Varyani said, “Go ahead
and live your passions. Remember that for all the good work you do, nature is
going to give you the same back. If you give misery to nature, nature is going
to give you back misery. This is my most important message for you – In order
to be successful, you need to take responsibility.”
