SIFE SRCC has reached a milestone - we have officially 100 rickshaw pullers under our Life on Wheels project!
The launch was held on 21st January in SRCC. Guess who the Chief Guest was? Hon'ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Sheila Dikshit, consented to be our Chief Guest and attended the function.
The set-up for the function was elegant - the stage and seating area surrounded by our very special designer rickshaws designed by leading designers in Fashion Design Council of India. The Chief Minister was astounded when she entered the function and she took her time in inspecting each designer rickshaw, all the while surrounded by the media. Mr. Sunil Sethi, President of Fashion Design Council of India, and our guest of honor (AND an alumnus of our SRCC), showed these rickshaws and the inspiration behind them to the Chief Minister.
Our other guests of honour Mr. Sanjay Sinho, CEO of American India Foundation and Mr. V.K. Khanna, Field General Manager, Punjab National Bank.
The Chief Minister, in her speech, spoke about the need for a vehicle-free campus and said she will speak to the Vice Chancellor of the University to initiate steps for the same. She talked about how she herself was a student at Delhi University, and how the only noises one should hear in a campus like ours is the noise students make.
The launch was HUGE for SIFE SRCC folks - this was our first major event! 100 more is our target by the end of this year. Keep up the spirit, fellow SIFE-mates!
