Editor's Note

With intense pressure during competitions comes the desire to resort to substances to ease it. Meets as one discussed above act as platforms to advocate for important social issues. Along with discussing drug abuse, voting was also discussed transcending traditional boundaries and incorporating social responsibility amongst the attendees and individuals associated with the institute. Steps like these might seem small but are vital in building a better nation.

Skoobuzz commends GDC Vijaypur for taking the initiative and committing to societal well-being.
