When I see the sky, I get inspiration to always perform better and better. Taking our Institute IIM Sirmaur to newer heights is one of the core duties of each one of us associated with it, she said. She motivated the gathering by saying that wherever we live or in whatever conditions, we should aspire and always try to fulfill our duties faithfully .
