Message From Chapter Chair
Dear Yi,
Pleasure to connect with you vis-a-vis The Newsletter!
The Yi Indore Annual day saw screening of the play ‘Between the Lines’ and was enthusiastically applauded.
We had a great opportunity and enriching experience to interact with Ansoo Gupta on Digital Marketing and with Dr Shweta Kaushal on Business Etiquette. The sheer charisma and involvement of the speakers won the hearts.
The Earth Hour celebration was high on energy and witnessed phenomenal foot-tapping response from members and outsiders, like always!
We celebrated World Environment Day by planting 130 saplings in Kasturbagram, with the assistance of Yi members and supporting organizations.
The Industrial visits organized paved way for one-to-one session with the Chaupal students. The students actively participated in all the six industry visits and it was an excellent learning experience. The feedback from Chaupals has been encouraging to say the least.
We showcased the play ‘Unfaithfully Yours’, by Mona Singh and Rohit Roy. It was a perfect get-away from our hectic schedules and filled with fun, and entertainment.
The world’s first International Yoga day celebrated in association with ISHA foundation was benefitting to members and friends, while sending the Yoga message to the entire world.
We hope to continue the various activities undertaken successfully at our chapters over the years and incorporate the new ones initiated by Yi National in various vertical, with all your help!!
