Evoking the achievements and prominence of Sir Isaac Newton, Vice Chancellor of Jain University, and Col.

Dr. Krishna Venkatesh, Director of School of Engineering and Technology, hailed the achievement of the students and encouraged them to explore more in the field of technology and science, which is fascinating and ever-evolving.

The students also echoed the same view and asserted how important this reward is to motivate them plan better to accomplish their future goals. “It’s actually a boost for us and a source of encouragement to excel further in future”, said an elated Kavya Jain, a B.Tech first year student at the university and a recipient of the scholarship.
