Highly bias person having comand. I say about my self I was joined in sep/2016 . They given 25% hike but after 3month reduced salary 20% by saying harmonization. I did fight but nothing happen.

I was third rank holder in 12th in my school 2008(awarded by mp govt award) B. Pharm with 71% and CR of my college. But there is no value of excellence due to some silly selfish persons.
