This opportunity will really help us to have more knowledge of business operations to make us more adaptable professionals.” On the same lines, Gangesh and Rajinder of MBA Hons were of the view that Charlotte Region being a hub of almost all business activities with hundreds of foreign owned firms, “we all will be able to interact with great business people to discuss solutions for current business issues in the global economy.”

Bidding farewell to the touring group, the Chancellor of LPU, Sh. Ashok Mittal anticipated that the students would make efforts to gain the maximum out of the visit. Stressing the need for an acquaintance regarding global business culture, he said: “ Globalization is the single largest factor to govern the business scene in India and abroad. Those who remain unaware and ignorant of customs and cultures outside their own can never be successful in the present scenario. Professionally skilled persons should not confine themselves to Indian job markets only. The world has opened up and is mainly and primarily one single global village in regards to business. Infact, all modern endeavours and enterprises operate and develop only in a global environment. So it is very essential for professional students to visit comparatively better places to have great insight into the real world of business and techniques and learn how performers of such areas are interacting internationally. For such International Exposure Programmes, our University also has plans for Engineering, Hotel Management and Fashion Technology students.”
