The Conference started at 1: 50 pm with the recitation of the Holy Quran by Kabir Ahmad, a student of BA 5th semester. Kabir Ahmad recited 86th Chapter of the Holy Quran, wherein the humans are reminded their source of creation and asked not to show pride and arrogance as these are the devilish characters. The inaugural cum welcome address was delivered by the worthy principal Prof. Dr. Tariq Hussain Bhat, who gracefully welcomed all the guests and the speakers and students.
