These virtues have been imparted to our students since the very beginning. We wish that a large number of students make it through and go ahead to selflessly serve society. I wish all the Interns and also the future graduates all success in your future endeavours when you all go into the world to serve the sick”.

This is also the first time where we witness an NGO coming out for a campus recruitment drive at this prestigious College. I have learnt that the experienced staff who have trained all of you on various subjects such as rehabilitation have also provided you with ample exposure to visiting special schools and orphanages and thus, you have a greater understanding of the community needs. The Values of APD are- Integrity; Collaboration; Empathy; Excellence; Accountability and Diversity. We at APD are happy to be here to recruit the interns for a good cause”.
