Activities at Parijnan Chaya
DY Patil Students’ visit to PC on 30th July’24
A bunch of self-motivated mechanical engineering students from DY Patil college, Pimpri, came to visit and interact with our super seniors. It was a heartwarming experience to see them chatting so lovingly with ajjis and ajobas, as if they have known them since a long time. They missed their own grandparents back home, so it was a beautiful sight to see them enjoying each other’s company.
