Dr Swati Muzumdar, Pro-Chancellor Symbiosis Skills and Professional University highlighted the need for inclusive education. “We have created a unique model to promote entrepreneurship by collaborating with the industry to buy products made by the students. We are glad that we have been able to give back to the society and contribute to the inclusive growth of the community.”
“We strongly believe that every person has the right to live a dignified life. Our endeavor is to ensure that we reach as many people as possible and help them realize their dreams and live a life with dignity. We have gone a step ahead and tied up with a hospital to buy the products manufactured by the students.
