This helps me boost my confidence and also participated for enjoyment. I want
to pursue it as my career,” said Anshuman, student. A number of students from
various states including India 's western Gujarat, Mumbai and northern Delhi participated
in the seven-day camp. "Students of the Birla School of Ranikhet and from Mumbai,
