Today, Batch ‘A’ 2012 Corps members will pass out after the one-year mandatory service. In the past, it was an event graduates looked forward to with high hope of a better future. Today, Corps members do not share that sentiment. Many of them are not happy because “we are going to join millions of unemployed graduates”.
