Congratulating the students, Vice-Chancellor Prof. H.K. Chaudhary praised their dedication and hard work, while appreciating Program Coordinator Sunita Bhalla and the faculty members for their guidance. He emphasized that serving as an EMT with the 108 Ambulance Service is a noble responsibility toward society.
Chancellor Dr. R.K. Abhilashi stated that the achievement reflects both the students’ commitment and the university’s quality of education. Pro-Chancellor Dr. L.K. Abhilashi added that the university continues to focus on skill-based, employment-oriented education, and such appointments highlight its emphasis on practical training and professional excellence.
The university administration, including Dean Academics Dr. Shrikant Shukla, Registrar Dr. Kapil Kapoor, Dr. Narbada Abhilashi (Chairperson, GES), Dr. Promila Abhilashi (Vice President, AES), Secretary Narendra Kumar, and Kunal Sood (Director, IT & Placement), extended their heartfelt congratulations to the students and faculty members for this significant achievement.
