Change is constant and it implies transition. It is a universally known fact that things cannot remain where they are. Likewise, businesses, too, tend to go up, stagnate for a while and come down.

Change can be beautiful; butterflies are the greatest proof of this! This book shows how ‘Teaching Learning Community’ made this possible for twelve years and is still counting.
