Rickshaw launch, Health checkup and Certificates for Seniors

As with every post, there is good news, folks! SIFE SRCC now has over 40 SIFE rickshaws on North Campus roads! Totally awesome, right? We had our rickshaw launch ceremony for 20 rickshaws on 22nd of this month. Brand new dazzling rickshaws were lined up neatly at the SRCC parking lot with their proud owners standing beside them. Laddoos were distributed to everyone and I find it extremely important to mention here that Barun (SIFE member) ate 3 laddoos in the light of a severe laddoo shortage situation during the ceremony. The ceremony was formally inaugurated by our Principal and refreshments were distributed to the rickshaw pullers.

I had the happy privilege of seating myself on the driver's seat of one of those dazzling SIFE rickshaws, and Calvin and Pratima were quick to get on the passenger seat and have me pull the rickshaw. Well, folks, I've resolved to never bargain with a rickshaw puller again, because pulling rickshaws is real tough and tiring.

On 18th of this month, the health checkup organized by Max India Foundation took place. Mrs. Mohini Daljeet Singh, CEO of Max India Foundation, herself arrived and attended the health camp. Rickshaw pullers' turnout was great - most of them came with their wives and elderly parents and got their checkups done. Max India Foundation will provide spectacles to those who require them, and will also organize for surgeries for some rickshaw pullers requiring the same.

The Certificate Distribution Ceremony for the SIFE 2nd years and 3rd years happened on 22nd, immediately after the rickshaw launch. The Principal distributed certificates to everyone and confessed that initially he thought of SIFE and its activities as completely ridiculous and used to wonder by Dr. Abhay Kumar (our faculty advisor) was wasting his time on such rubbish. But now he recognizes us for our superhuman intellect. Okay, I made up the stuff about superhuman intellect, but he did appreciate our work. The certificates, by the way, were so pretty! It's worth working for SIFE just to be able to have our own certificates next year! Radhika, SIFE SRCC outgoing President, appointed Mehak as our new President and Ashima as our co-President for the year. I'm glad I'm not Radhika, it would have been the most difficult decision of my life to decide which one of Ashima and Mehak should be president.
