Tour of Kolkata Schools

 JIS is a sponsor of Saraswati Pooja Awards given to schools. I represented the university and went to 5 schools starting with APJ in Salt Lake, to Taki Multipurpose school for Boys, Sanskrit Collegiate School, Jadavpur Vidyapeeth and Little Memorial School in Garia. A highlight was that we were accompanied by two celebrities- Soham Chakrabarty, actor, and Jose Baretto, former Mohun Bagan football star from Brazil who lives here.
