Ruchi Khemka’s Comment -
Over years I’ve realized that there is more to be thankful for and less to cry in life. The joy is in giving back and creating the change instead of sitting and hoping for it to happen. I believe less in luck and more in hard work. Hence I find myself doing what I love the most in order to give back to the society and be content.  Diploma in Administration Services , P.V.Polytechnic SNDTWU helped in laying a foundation and opening up doors to work within large organizations at a young age, which otherwise is impossible in a competitive world like ours.
