The Sweet Taste

At G D Goenka University, it is our endeavour to expose the students to myriad experiences and on-the-job learning. The pedagogy ensures that students are not just occupied in classroom learning but get a broader perspective through visits, outings, participation in events and observation of important happenings. Here is one such student, Shrey Kulshreshta, reporting on an event he attended:
