Opening Address by Club President:

Club President Pravin outset his opening address by sharing the significance of  'Personality Development'. He illustrated his views with a beautiful example of rubber-band that human personality is similar to the rubber band, It can stretch us, it can propel us to heights we could not even imagined. Pravin said, “Take charge of your life, strech yourself, and one day you will wake up a different person, in a different place in a different world. Not that anything has changed but because a while ago you decided to change yourself and you never gave up”.

So be like a rubber band, go stretch yourself & propel yourself to new heights.
