Dream come true

Chetana Suresh Malangi, a second-year student of JSS College of Pharmacy here, said it’s a dream come true. “There was an online test. The first task was to write a catchy caption for an image and the second was to write a 500-word essay on my success mantra. My selection was confirmed on January 25," she said, adding, "I’m a big fan of the Prime Minister. I hope I’ll get a chance to ask a question.”
