due to recession, I don’t see any slowdown in India. She went on to add

with the European varsity, she said,” I fail to see any major difference
between the two, in fact LPU is providing world class infrastructure along
with education at lower fee structure. Claudia’s enchantment with India
showed when she said,” It is a great feeling to be here and feels like being
apart of one big lovely family”
