    I salute my great teachers who have thirst for knowldge and do not stop by saying that the time is over for them.
    Great job by the participants as have ensured their participation in such a creative and informative session.
    Keep going as the world of knowlege doesn’t belong to a single person rather everyone has equal probability of being an itegral part of the endless stream of knowledge.
