Dear All,
Just came across a notice regarding conference at IIM Bangalore on
Public policy. Thought to share it with you ppl.
I am attending this conference hopefully. For anyone who is interested
in social sector, I think it would be an excellent platform to
interact with like minded individuals.
Also in future we can think of creating a fund sponsored by the alumni
for the purpose of enabling VNIT students to attend such
conferences/seminar.
Regards
Pratyush
CC: My Batchmates: I believe you are in line with me in the creation
of such a fund.
