Congrats Salehda,
Just a word of caution! Is this organisation a private one? You must check
the organisation. I can also do the needful if you can email me the address.
There are lot many organisations in Delhi's award giving business. We must
alsways check whether they are quacks or genuine..:)
Thsi I am writing just to make you aware that there people making money out
of people's crave for awards. I will explain their modus operandi, if you so
wish.
