model is important and that could be achieved by offering opportunities
to those less privileged with the help of mindset of DEI (Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion),” said Mr VivekKaul.

with RKM after we place our proposals with the head of the organisation.

opportunities to go-ahead with their careers,” Mr.UjjawalGalada, Deputy
