COMMUNITY SERVICE:

I have had excellent opportunities to work at the Blind People's Association, India at Ahmedabad, twice (during the winter and summer of my freshman year)! 

Thanks to Ms. Kinnari Desai for giving me this chance to serve the people with disabilities at BPA.

I was involved in organizing important government resolutions (GRs) for people with disabilities during winter, and designing a software package for organizing events at the institution during summer.

Also, thanks to my friends Vraj, Vikram, and Mit, who joined and helped me in this noble cause.
