REFLECTIONS
Dear Students,
I am thrilled to share that our institute is
celebrating its
40th anniversary this year— Ruby Jubilee!
This milestone is a testament to the dedication,
hard work, and the passion of everyone who has
been a part of our journey.
Over the decades, we have nurtured countless
talents and witnessed remarkable achievements,
and I am proud to say that we have consistently
aimed to develop not only excellent technocrats
but also individuals of strong character.
As we commemorate this special occasion, let’s Mrs. Anuradha Jadiya
reflect on our shared commitment to excellence and the values that bind us.
Our goal remains to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in your
chosen fields while fostering integrity and responsibility. Together, let’s aim for even
greater heights in the years to come and continue to uphold the legacy of our
institute.
In the words of Albert Einstein, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training
of the mind to think.” May this inspire you to cultivate curiosity and creativity as you
embark on your educational journey.
Here’s to a bright future filled with opportunities and achievements!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Anuradha Jadiya
Assistant Professor
(Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering, VESIT)
