Dear Students,
Wishing you all a Wondrous Year ahead!
I hope the new year
is treating you well. January is also the month we celebrate Sankranthi. This
marks the arrival of fresh harvest, and for the CA students, Sankranthi is when
results are announced.
Let this Sankranthi be a successful one and bring you all
good results. As you know, December was the month of Kshithija, the National
Conference of CA Students. It was a grand event, and I am grateful to every
person who directly and indirectly contributed to the conference's success.
The Conference is a memorable one as it had a few unique
initiatives, such as:
1. Shark Tank Competition- A unique competition was
conducted for the CA students, probably for the first time.
2. E - Souvenir - The conference souvenir is an e-book, not
a simple pdf. It is a professionally designed flip book with videos and photos
embedded and can be played. See the link below http://ebook.bangaloreicai.org/
The Souvenir has three videos embedded on pages 4,9 and 124 3. YODA - A Robot
hosted the conference as MC and also moderated the panel discussion
4. Guests were welcomed with Book-A and not Bouquet. We
greeted the guests and speakers with books to spread knowledge and encourage
the habit of reading books among students.
5. Real-life heroes such as Capt Naveen Nagappa and Arjun
Gowda were invited as guests. Capt. Naveen Nagappa is a Kargil war hero who
suffered injuries during the war, fought for life in hospital for 21 months, and
is now back on his foot only due to his willpower and determination. Movie
Actor Arjun Gowda's journey is no less than a movie. He drove ambulances during
the second wave of the pandemic and has cremated 100+ bodies. He also immersed
the ashes of orphaned dead bodies' ashes in Ganga.
6. Blood Donation Camp - Students were encouraged to donate
blood, and students actively participated in the camp organized at the
conference venue In toto, Kshithija was a knowledge fest sharing knowledge on
varied topics and a good platform for the students to network.
A Debate and Chess competition was conducted on the 30th of
December, and two winners from each of these competitions have been sent to the
regional level. My best wishes to them, and I hope and wish that they qualify
for the national level.
We are planning some exciting events for January, and
details of the same will be announced soon. Please participate actively, as
always.
With loads of Good wishes,
Kavitha Paramesh
