thanks folks for the heartwarming response for our student friends ... may i suggest some senior member like dr. amol or vijay barve to open an account in the name of diversity india or whatever name suitable. For the sake of total transparency , all payments should be made by cheque or telegraphic transfers. Names of all contributors to be put up. Total sum given to the organisers of the meet for students subsidy also to be displayed. any other suggestions to take this concept to the next level are also welcome nelson rodrigues
