The program was brilliantly conducted by Tr. Sanjay Kondass, National HRD Convenor, with variety added by Tr. Vaishal Kapadia, Area III HRD Convernor, and Tr. Vinod Gupta of SRT 135. Several relevant topics like Leadership, communication, team work, public speaking and perspective of “NOW” was covered in 4 hours interesting session. Tr.
