Wow.

It has been amazing. Our journey was not one without obstacles. We had our lows and downs, and the journey has been an uphill task, but what a journey! Four months ago, we had a dream and the dream took a beautiful and meaningful reality on the 22nd of January when we had 358 participants coming together for the city we love and live in. The overwhelming response brought in a new sense of pride in the students of Hyderabad. We showed that we care and are together. In the light of this, we have pledged to plant 358 trees, one for each participant, to do our little bit towards our environment, our home. This would not have been possible without the help of so many people. Apoorv, Akshat, Suhaib, Srihita, Atul Lanka, Martin sir, Bursar, senior management team, and our principal Capt.Rohit Sen Bajaj. Thank you everyone for making this one of a kind initiative a success!
