I am thankful to MHFI, S&P Capital IQ for allowing me to lead this project. I am also thankful to all volunteers for their kind support.

Chandrahar Biradar: It was an immense pleasure to be a part of such CIM program. This kind of career guidance sessions will help students to set their goals. It was a great opportunity for me to talk to students and guide them. It’s out and out a team work altogether which has led the project to grand success.

Sreenath Reddymally: First of all I would like to thank you for providing me this wonderful opportunity to serve the society. It is my distinct pleasure to serve along with other volunteers, who despite of their busy schedule made their way to Thimmapur Village and participated in such a wonderful program. Providing basic amenities like benches means that students are relived from back pain and knee problems and concentrate more on studies. On a personal front it gave me a tremendous self-satisfaction and I was delighted to work under your leadership.

Please make me a part in your next year’s project.
