Principal
It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you once again to the Newsletter of Science and Humanities department of National Engineering College. This arsenal is in the right spirit to guide the enterprising students. We intend to trigger the artistic quality and reading habit among the teens of our college, so that they can make a meaningful contribution towards society's development. The articles strike propinquity in dealing with technology and unique ideas. As life has no rewinds but only flashbacks, we bring up exhilarating flashbacks of the undertakings and accomplishments of the department. I feel proud to convey my best wishes to the versatile students' crew behind this meritorious effort.
