Hi Everyone,

            It was really an awesome journey as a Microsoft Student Partner. I learnt a lot from this program. It really helped me to explore my skills and apply the knowledge to the good effect i.e. Implement.

I have taken lectures in the different colleges, not only my college but various colleges in the Nagpur and also reviews of the students about the latest technology.  The best part was “DreamSpark Yatra” . A Life changing moment, Really! 🙂

Made a lot many friends during the program and interacted with many professionals and got to learn different things which I would have just dreamed of. Enjoyed a lot 🙂
