Enlightening Lives

‘Giving is not just about making a donaon... it’s about making a difference!” Enlightening Lives has always strived

accessories, staonery, and other food items, braille slates, stylus and papers were

In the year 2018, B.V. Raju Instute of Technology had joined Street Cause and began extending its helping hand

to the people who are in need of support by accomplishing many successful projects individually and also few in

collaboraon with other colleges.

Editorial

“I can’t change the direcon of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my desnaons” – Jimmy Dean

This quick change (COVID 19) has been very significant as it has brought into light many of our hidden traits and

changed our perspecve in almost everything that we perceive. Though the first few days were loaded with many

anxiees, concerns and preparaon for an enrely new normal, we could alter our sails and reach the specific

desnaons. To admit, of course, we were given a chance to strengthen our weaknesses, to spend quality me with

family, to explore new opportunies, to organize, to clear backlogs, to strengthen relaons and many more in this

pandemic. COVID 19 is not the end, we may have to face many new challenges, and let the deep rooted posivity

in every one of us see opportunity in every adversity. This issue of Interface focuses on acvies of student clubs,

MOU, research acvies in the instuon along with the department acvies. We acknowledge the efforts and

hard work of the members in making this issue possible.

Be vigilant and be safe.
