DIET as an institute is rising fast in stature, ranking, memberships to premier bodies and the success of its alumni in India and abroad points out the exceptional management and leadership skills of its faculty and students. My dear student friends I am happy in jotting a few lines for you through this college Magazine, Believe in quotes of Nelson Mandela "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." And "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Don't feel sad because you are different from others. Every unique skill and talent has the potential to make you a superstar. Embrace your personality and unchain your inner strength. Don't forget - the one thing that all successful people have in common is that they were different than everyone around them. I wish both the students and the institute to have a great future and wish them to cherish the 'memories'.
