It is a platform for a much wider, richer exposure and learning, networking with key people, and developing a much larger vision of one’s own involvement in society, industry and the nation. It also enables students to experience leadership roles, teamwork, organisational skills, and an opportunity for hands-on managerial processes and goal achievement. These clubs are supported by the Institutions both through mentoring, facilities and funding.
