The orientation also featured attendance from notable figures such as ACP Malkajigiri Sri Chakrapani and Pocharam ITC PS Inspector Raju, alongside College Principal Siva Reddy and various Heads of Departments.

In closing, CP Sudhir Babu reiterated the shared responsibility of students and educational institutions in creating a safe and nurturing environment, vital for the holistic development of the next generation.
