On the whole, the College Week “LABYRINTH ” 2019 was a huge success only out of sheer dedication, team participation, cooperation and sportsmanship of all those who were involved in the various activities. I, on behalf the Students Council, would like to end by saying:
Winning is not everything. It only means we are willing to go longer, work harder and give more than anyone else. Winning does not always mean being first, winning means we are doing better than what we had done before.
