Association with Vivekananda Samiti, IIT Kanpur

I consider myself fortunate to have a long and memorable association (2006-17) with Vivekananda Samiti, IIT Kanpur. It was a delightful experience to coordinate many activities of the club during my PhD days (2010-17).

I got the opportunity to organize many seminars, workshops, youth leadership conventions and many such programs, most of which are available on Samiti's Youtube Channel . It was a pleasure to interact with many eminent personalities such as Swami Sarvapriyananda, Michel Danino, PVC Yogendra Singh Yadav, Dr. TGK Murthy, Dr. Vikram Singh, Arunima Sinha, Rashmi Bansal, Dr. Sumita Roy, Swami Narasimhananda, Swami Atmashraddhananda, Swami Satyamayananda, Swami Atmapriyananda, and many others. Also helped in conducting several medical health camps for the under-privileged sections of the society. Special thanks to Rahul Jagtap, Sayan Sadhu, Koustuv Ray, Indramani Dhada, Anshul Khandelwal, Ajit Kumar, Avijit Chatterjee, Paromita Dasgupta and everyone else who contributed towards the cause of Vivekananda Samiti, IIT Kanpur.
