I am really missing this event being unable to travel to Guwahati due to my end-term exam assignment at IIM. I am sure the event will be a colorful one and inspire a lot more youths in our state. To update you on our Youth Entrepreneurship program that I proposed at IIM Kashipur let me say that we got the intial positive response to our proposal from Govt of India. We are now revising the proposal with a "placement/job" component built into the program as suggested by the ministry. I will let you know when we start the program and solicit your participation at some mutually suitable time during the program. Once again, a lot of best wishes and congratulations to you and whole FRIENDS team !!
