      Activities and Societies: My journey with the Sports Society allowed me to combine my love for cricket with the thrill of competition. I eagerly participated in various intercollegiate and intra-university cricket tournaments, showcasing my skills as a cricketer. The teamwork, and sportsmanship I experienced on the field were invaluable aspects of my university life. I have actively pursued opportunities for professional development to complement my academic background, including attending conferences, workshops, and seminars related to Electrical Engineering (Solar PV). These experiences have enriched my knowledge and fostered valuable connections within the academic and professional communities.
