He concluded by encouraging the students with a verse from the poem that they should NEVER QUIT-
"DON'T QUIT"
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Various businesspersons and professionals from various sectors participated in the inauguration.
