A bright and challenging future is waiting for all of us. I want to share Swami Vivekananda’s words of wisdom with the students.

Thoughts live; they travel far.” I wish you all a very fruitful educational pursuit in the University. Thank you. Prof. Ashok Sharma Prospectus : 2018-2019 5 University of Kota, Kota CONTENTS S.
