The scholastic environment and the pedagogy at PSG are enormously conducive to the academic growth of its pupils. The Institute augmented in shaping me as a leader in spearheading global organizations of scale. My advice to the youth today is that knowledge should be adequately supplemented with skills and to be successful one should never compromise on ethics and values. Institutions should foster a culture of innovation where new ideas emerge on a constant basis. We have a huge population to cater to and our production and consumption should be done diligently without causing harm to the environment. The spirit of volunteerism should be encouraged among students, as it offers many benefits including the fulfilment of purpose”.
