Mr. Kadirvelu appreciated the students’ discipline and professional behavior, certifying their participation with a certificate. The session concluded with a thanks letter handed over to the company by Mr. Ganesh Nayak.

After visiting Gurucharan Industries, the students proceeded to Dakshina Kannada District Co-operative Milk Producers’ Societies’ Union Limited, where they were guided by Mr. Rajesh, Production Supervisor. He explained the production process of Nandhini products, including milk and its substitutes, and elaborated on the supply of raw materials.
