Till now it has been contributed to the privilege of an individual with respect to family make up, surroundings and school atmosphere. However, years of research and analysis has identified, that if we can hone these skills in a structured and conscious way, any individual can grow, irrespective of the above-mentioned privileges, which can be scarce in these days due to various socio-economic conditions. How? To achieve this, we aim to train the youth on the core life skills through a specific course curriculum and content, developed with interactive and engaging activities, to make them industry-ready, at the campus level and to provide a holistic development of students, from playroom to classroom to boardroom.
