Sudheer-(Project Leader)

It was my pleasure to part of this CIM project and we made an impact to the RHC by providing the material. I have seen joy in the eyes of the hospital staff while distributing materials. I am happy for the concern with which we carried out the CIM project. I am really thankful to all of my CIM project volunteers for their personal time and support in making this day as Impact day.

Niranjan Swain

I am truly blessed that I got this opportunity to serve the society and the needful and thanks to our company for creating these opportunities for us which we think but we can’t do actually, through these activities we get a chance to help others and self. At this moment of time I can only say that at least I am little bit satisfied to me and most importantly the feeling which I felt at the very moment is inexpressible and unimaginable. Moving forward in future I will be happy if I could be a part of these activities
