Guest of honour Professor RC Gupta, Dean SASRD Medziphema, articulated that innovation does not happen suddenly and can be realised only through continuous experimentation. He advocated considering mother earth in their experimentation and carrying on with what can be of use for the earth and not those which can be of no use. The scenario, he conveyed, must be to grow with the future and not destroy our future.
Professor Gupta also called upon the students to imbibe sincerity, honesty and punctuality to achieve constructive innovation and look for honest competition without shying away.
The closing programme was chaired by Lipenthug Ezung and Elina Chophi, while invocation was pronounced by Shanchamo Yanthan, Assistant Professor. The vote of thanks was rendered by Aroma Lotzem, Techaura Co-Convenor, and benediction was said by Octoli K Chishi, EU-SEY secretary.
