IU CARES: Our first step on the day of Independence!

Today is just yet an amazing day for all we Indians. On this occasion of Independence, IUCares has taken a mega initiative to gather the youth of Bangalore at S.R.N.Adarsh College to take part in multiple social initiatives as part of Corporate Social Responsibility of Inspiration Unlimited in association with S.R.N.Adarsh College.

The event started at 9:30 AM on August 15^th when students from different streams like B.Sc, BBM, BA, MBA, B.E came together for a noble social cause to create a new mark on this 66^th Independence day. All the students were divided into teams of 5. 14 teams were made with random team members who were asked to choose a team name, team leader and a team colour.

Each team was given a chance to introduce the entire team and a brief description of their team. The teams that were formed were assigned different tasks which were really random and different from one another. Each team was introduced its task in a different room called as Task Room. No two teams were given the same task and they were not suppose to share their tasks with each other. Exactly 3 hours are assigned to each team for accomplishing their tasks. The teams were instructed to take photos and videos during their tasks.

Every team member was excited to the core to get going with the task. Teams were chosen randomly, instructed with a task and were wished the best luck to head for their task. The college authorities along with the IU team coordinated really well to organise the entire process. The teams have headed for their tasks and are reporting their task status regularly. Its getting really exciting for now and will update you all on the teams and further progress in the next blog. Wait for more...

Happy Independence day!!!
