…in which I break my self-imposed rule of not mixing my professional work with this blog.  I have a very good reason.  I am very pleased and excited to now be formally involved in an extraordinary enterprise in India: Vindhya. Vindhya is extraordinary because:

…almost 95% of its staff of 200 youngsters comprises differently-abled and physically challenged youngsters

Read more about them in my post from last year...and wish us luck in our bold plans for the future.

    Hey Shantanu,
    Thats a good thing you drew my attention to…it was there in my mind as well but just didn’t do it. Had heard of a few such initiatives elsewhere as well but none associated with a person in my network. Please do share ways to get associated and help Vindhya grow…Cheers. Kamal

    Hello Shantanu ji,

    Vindhya is indeed a very noble enterprise and thank you for bringing such a wonderful endevour to our notice.

    I would like to have your input regarding the training and placement of differently abled students in ventures like Vindhya. (Not specifically Vindhya )

    I have sent you an E-mail regarding the same and the information about the NGO that is housing and schooling these children.

    I would be grateful for your input.
