The challenges faced during the implementation stage were discussed by the Panchayat President.  The queries raised by the team members based on sustainable developmental goals were replied with patience and were quite informative. They also encouraged the students to come up with new ideas and realistic plans to contribute to the society. Dr Siju K C (Asst Prof, AS Dept and  Head of VSEC) has been constantly supporting and guiding the students throughout the ongoing Internship.
