"The students of SVNIT are engaging themselves of their own for the betterment of society. The real motto of services "NOT for me but for you" is the best way which is achieved by the technocrat students engaged in educating the small kids of workers. I had personally seen the students working with love,affection and feeling of belongingness with small kids which make me very happy.

I wish all the best to our students for such wonderful activity."

"A person cannot be having satsfaction only when he is happy with the work done. Joy and happiness generate in the heart thorugh the work done for others. A small token of live, donation or service to others will fulfil the desire of human being. We generally do for ourselves or for our family. But humanity should be generated in our heart.

Nirvana- a forum for activity being carried out by SVNIT students for welfare of workers residing in the campus is really well appreciated. I am really happy to see the task being done by my beloved students. They are very generous and kind enough to do this very important service.

I pray to Almighty that they should remain happy and satisfied to carry out such activities in the future also."
