Hey,
Thanks for the initiative Debanjan!!
For those who don't know - Debanjan is an extremely active Campus Ambassador of the
India Education Program. I'm glad that he is coming forward and helping us out in
other outreach programs as well. And I would encourage other Campus Ambassadors to take
extra initiatives and involve themselves in other programs too.
Thanks
Nitika
