Faculty members always try to enhance the vocabulary and pronunciation and also many exercises were held to remove the mother tongue influence of the students.

But it is not possible now, we can only do that by attending all the sessions and participate in the events that the institute organise, talking to the fellow mates and enjoy every moment and opt all these changes.
