Our Visit to IITM

28.09.12


Yesterday along with my colleagues I went to Egmore, Chennai Central Railway Stations, Velachery Pool and IIT, Madras to get an idea about the arrangements to be made for Ripples. All the offiicials in all these places are very supportive. At that time I gave a talk to Social Entrpreneur Students at IITM. It was a very good interactive session. I requested the students to extend their wholehearted support for Disability SPorts in India. Students are very much interested to support Ripples. Great thanks to all of them.
