I saw the Interns Circular notice on BMS facebook page and I applied for that new post. When I found out that I was selected by BMS as an intern. I was very happy, excited as well as curious to work. I needed a place where I can develop my own capacity, BMS is that place. Many thanks to BMS for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.
