Dear Dhavalbhai,
These are the events where CIS members have provided partnerships/active support in organizing the events and not just the ones they might have attended. This list does not include the events conducted by volunteers where CIS members only attended the event.
Thank you, Best Noopur

Extremely sorry to hear this - from everything I've heard, read and seen over the last 1.5 years, Shiju's departure will be a huge loss for the program.
Shiju, needless to say I wish you a good transition and hope we will stay in touch.
And of course I very much hope that someone with as much passion for indic languages and skills in working supportively with language communities will join the team.
