The social responsibility that we have decided to fulfill through our partnership with Smile Foundation, involves charity work that has no direct financial benefits to the Institute. We have very minutely realized that the state alone could not solve the problems of communities; therefore it is the need of the hour to support volunteerism aimed at assisting the needy and the underprivileged. The Smile Foundation has changed the lives of thousands of underprivileged children while rendering exemplary services to the humanity. Through this partnership, we will do our best to bring all possible changes by our Photography Training Programmes’’.
