Speaking in the program, Vinod Kumar outlined the role and relevance of Commerce Education in present society. He said that in recent years the different fields in the society were relying on the Commerce faculty for meeting the societal requirements.

Vinod Kumar further said that as the business environment had become very complex there was a compulsory need to understand the basic concepts which will be useful for all, particularly keeping in view that shift from few interactions and business arrangements to a higher level of business opportunities.
