The programme commenced with a serene Ganesh Vandana, invoking blessings for a successful academic journey ahead.
Following the invocation, Dr. Lata Shahani, Head of the Department, addressed the students. She shared a detailed overview of the academic schedule, examination patterns, and the various departmental activities conducted throughout the year. Her session also included highlights of educational visits, conferences, and a brief introduction to the vibrant alumnae network, encouraging students to engage actively and make the most of the opportunities provided.

Adding a special touch, research scholars introduced the faculty members by dedicating heartfelt lines to each, helping students familiarize themselves with their mentors in a warm and personal manner.
