Mysore/Mysuru: “Every child has the potential to emerge as a leader. It is the responsibility of educational institutions to create a platform that encourages and inspires them to develop leadership qualities,” said Flight Lieutenant Shrawani Bhargav of the Indian Air Force (IAF).

She was speaking at student ‘Oath Ceremony’ at Nypunya School of Excellence, Kanakadasanagar, Dattagalli campus, where she received the flag salute.
