“In this workshop we learnt a lot, which was missing in our real life. During the workshop an excellent environment was created and every member in staff particularly me were punctual which lacks in any other training conducted by any other Govt. department. The quality of the concepts were most interesting and of good morals. During this workshop we gained lot of knowledge about life and development of human being.” - Tirath Lal, Principal, GHSS Paddar, Kishtiwar

“This workshop will be useful in our daily life. First of all, we have to plan the day’s work and then do the same according to the plan already prepared.
