The Arohan is our tribute to the disciplines that teach us about people, society, governance, media, and culture. It is heartening to see our students ideate, organize, debate and create with such enthusiasm.

This not only builds their confidence but also prepares them for the real world. I am proud of each one of them and extend my heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed guests and facilitators.”
