Your comments on the brain drain trend.

As a student, the brain drain trend is a poignant concern that weighs heavily on my mind. Witnessing talented individuals leave their home countries in pursuit of greener pastures abroad is disheartening, as it signifies a loss of invaluable expertise and innovation for their communities. It’s imperative for governments and institutions to address this trend by fostering environments that incentivise skilled individuals to remain and contribute to the growth and prosperity of their homeland.

How did college help you hone your skills?

College served as a nurturing ground for honing my skills and passions, guiding me towards avenues where I could flourish. Whether it was refining my writing prowess or perfecting my on-screen presence, AIMC provided the platform and guidance necessary for me to excel. Through their unwavering support, I was able to cultivate my talents and embark on a journey of self-improvement.

Any message for the students of the university.

To my fellow students, I extend my heartfelt wishes for success and fulfilment in your individual journeys. Let’s stand together, support each other, and strive to make our dreams a reality. Remember, the sky’s the limit when we dare to dream abundantly!
