Your valuable inputs and guidance have helped many aspirants improve upon their performances. The results stand a testimony to your invaluable contributions. Thanks to everybody. This is a momentous occasion for us when started as a dream to help the students in their civil services journey. Shankaraya's Academy today has transformed into one of the most trusted and respected mentors for aspirants dreaming to ace the coveted civil services exam. This journey has been nothing short of the spectacular. Shankar started his journey from coaching a small group of students in a rented house. Today, as we enter into the 15th year, we are able to offer the best of the infrastructure and pedagogy to the students. What we are today is because the trust is reposed on us by thousands of students in their families. Furthering to their trust, which aspirants have on us, we wish to introduce now about our Shankar Memorial Educational and Charitable Trust. This trust, as Shankar wished, will seek to identify and provide assistance to the deserving candidates from socially and economically deprived sections of the society. This is a small token of our commitment to the cause that no student should be deprived the help to nurture and be served her dreams. I wish to quote, success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work shows us the path to success. Greatness will eventually be a byproduct of consistency. Finally, let me take this opportunity to appreciate the extraordinary efforts of the faculty team and their numbers of Shankar's Academy family in uniting to fulfill the vision and helping achieve consistency in producing better results. I welcome you all and thank you all. Thank you ma'am. We all know the story of a king and a spider. The king who was defeated six times in the battle was forced to hide in the cave.
