Appreciating students’ willingness to learn and upgrade themselves, ACFA principal Dr Neerja Dhingra congratulated the students for attending the workshop. She encouraged them to participate in such workshops and programmes in the future too.

Dr Dhingra went on to emphasise the need to explore beyond classroom teaching to foster all-round development, something Apeejay always encourages. Workshops like these also help students in research-based projects, she added.

She appreciated the efforts of Dr Rupali Sood, Head, Department of Computer Science, and Harpreet Kaur, school in-charge, ACFA, for guiding the students.
