Speaking on the occasion, Gaude said that hard work, as well as belief is essential for success and felt that it is extremely difficult to achieve success unless and until they believe.
“Success does not happen by chance. It is the result of pure and sheer hard work. Above all, love is essential for both learning and doing. Success cannot be recorded in a single day or night. It requires commitment and perseverance,” he said.
