Manav Rachna believes in exchanging knowledge across boundaries through experiential learning platforms and recently welcomed a delegation of fitness trainers who shall be undergoing a rigorous 9 week training under the aegis of Faculty of Applied Sciences (FAS), Manav Rachna International University in collaboration with Geo Sports Academy.
