Education is not the only criterion which shapes a student’s career prospects, personality development is just as important. Factors like cultural awareness, sports activities, and social service help shape a student’s personality and give them a competitive edge.
ONC endeavours to promote a student’s growth by fusing education with culture, sports, workshops and seminars. Students are involved in programs which create awareness in the society like voice against illiteracy, pollution, aids, genocide of female fetus and other social welfare programmes.
