Deliberating forward, he emphasized on the importance of teamwork and acquiring new skills to attain new goals.

Mr. Arun Subramani (Convener, USF, Bengaluru), concluded the session with a focus on Language Skills, especially to check the usage of prepositions. He also gave examples of women in different crucial positions and quoted lesser known facts of their life.
