It's really sad to express my feedback on dislike.I never dislike the Management and Policies of Sri Chaitanya.these are always respectable. But I never like the Politics that goes on at Branch level.I have also faced many Politics from Principal and others at my Branch (Palasa) level even i do my work properly and effectively.Real talents are always suppressed by the officials at Branch level.I have seen Caste feeling(nepotism) at Palasa Branch. But Management and it's Policies are highly appreciated.I have worked 10 years because of Management. Thanking you SRINIVAS RAYALA (BIO HOD)
