I had the honour of using Vignan University’s NTR library while I was a student there, and the university also granted some of the Ph.D. Scholars with cubicles. These tools were provided so that we may do our research in comfort. In addition to our research supervisor, the professors in our department answer a lot of our questions and provide us with complete assistance.

I extend my sincere gratitude to VFSTR University for providing exceptional resources that facilitated the completion of my thesis on “Drama and Simulation Activities: A Blended Strategy to Enhance Speaking Skills.” The university’s comprehensive facilities, including well-equipped libraries, research databases, and modern infrastructure, were invaluable.
