Taking Charge of Personal Growth
At Vedica, we believe that a woman must be her best not just in the world, but also for the world. She must see her own personal growth as her responsibility. The Personal Growth track at Vedica offers Scholars a platform to introspect and grow not just as a professional, but as an individual.
