He said that among the 12 PhD faculty members recruited was Prof. Madoun Moloud from France in HR and organisational behaviour.

Chief guest Gopal Vittal, Executive Director of Hindustan Unilever Ltd., said students should emulate excellence. "An inpidual should find out what is inside the self and thereby inculcate the habit of competing within oneself to achieve success," he said.
