    The is really commendable. Well done YCR on holding such an important event. I think the students and youth of Reshun have great potential to excel, provided they are properly guided. These activities are positive contributions in this regard and will encourage students. We,all have to play our role in refraining our children from bad company and in teaching them positive thinking. All the best.
