“There are promises to keep,
And miles to go, miles to go, before I sleep.”
CAPRI, in its endeavor to be the very best, has set quite a few milestones. We have never been complacent with our efforts & always worked with zeal to achieve the maximum possible. The idea to be on the top is not inspired by materialism, rather by the desire to serve the mankind. Someone has very rightly said ‘there’s no greater achievement than bringing a smile to a sad face’. We, at CAPRI, have believed this & worked with perseverance towards realizing this goal. Any achievement by a CAPRIAN is an ode to mankind as the underlying objective behind each one of them is to develop, invent or research for the better ways which can bring pain relief & functional proficiency easily to human beings.
