Introduction : Akshat

Hi everyone..

I am Akshat Shukla, currently a fifth semester student of Electronics and Communication Engineering at MNIT,Jaipur.I am basically from Anand, a small place in Gujarat, famous for its largest milk dairy in Asia (i.e AMUL) and most number of surrogate mothers.

Apart from academics what thrills me the most is analyzing the stock markets. I enjoy playing lawn tennis .What attracted me to be a part of this team is the task at our hands -- creating something handy for the rural folks using our skills, which ultimately leads to their upliftment .It is like putting our knowledge to test, and I love doing that, specially when the test is not on paper.

Introduction : Suvha

Hi,
My name is Suvha Lama.I hail from Darjeeling, the queen of hills . I am doing my B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from Malaviya National Institute of Techology,Jaipur. I am in third year now.

For me Mondialogo has been a boon,no less. It has opened new avenues for me . On a personal front, I came to know more about myself and my interests.

Bhojpur is a very pleasant place and so are its people.They are very helpful and always lend a helping hand no matter what. When I put myself in their shoes, I could feel their pain.After witnessing their living conditions and the determination and benignity with which they face life ,I truly understood the meaning of the phrase "making something out of nothing". So I was thoroughly inspired to do something just to see a glimmer of hope in those eyes always bright and full of energy amidst the chaos.The people there are very humble.They will be happy even if there is someone to just lend a ear to them.

After Bhojpur, my life has never been the same.I realised that our life when compared to theirs is a cake walk.

Introduction : Ankit

My name is Ankit Singh. I am a student of Civil Engineering at Malaviya National Institute of Technology,Jaipur.
I enjoy travelling and photography apart from music and creative designing .I am a hard core counter strike fan.I have a passion for automobiles and would love to see myself designing a few of them in the near future.I am an outspoken person and like communicating with people from different spheres of life,cultures and parts of the world and getting to know their perspective on various issues.I am always on the lookout for good oppurtunities which can provide me with some great value addition.

For me, Mondialogo is very special.It provides me a platform for using my technical and soft skills to work towards the betterment of the society.It is wonderful to see the use of what you study in the real world.Also, I perceive this as an oppurtunity to give something back to society.It is great to see people from all over the world come together and provide solutions to the major problems we face today.I am glad to be a part of such a group that is trying to change the lives of people,though in a small but effective way.

Introduction : Shweta

Hey everyone,

I'm Shweta Sivasankaran , doing my 3rd year Chem Engg. in Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, Rajasthan.I hail from a small State in the southern tip of The Indian peninsula called Kerala (popularly known as 'God's own Country'- so i guess that makes me an Angel :-) ). The verdant tropical greenery there is vibrant and shapes the attitudes of its natives to a great extent. Jaipur is a contrast, but I love it here despite a lot less rainfall :-). I hold a passion for music and dance and share an interest in reading.Being a part of the Mondialogo team is important to me since I would be able to do something that would benefit a village- the heartland of my country which the scorching national economical growth in the past decade has left largely untouched. More than drawing up plans on paper, I will strive to give something tangible to the village of Bhojpur which can improve their life and enrich their community. I am prepared to work to this end.

Introduction:Jayanthi

Hello everyone!!
This is jayanthi gopal...I'm in my 3rd year of civil engineering at MNIT, Jaipur...I basically belong to Chennai but have truly witnessed and enjoyed the multi ethnic-nature of India...I've resided in Nainital, Nagpur, Hyderabad,Chennai, Bangalore and now am at Jaipur...
I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction literature and also write poems and short stories...
I firmly believe that engineering is a key driver of national development...India being a nation of villages,I believe that rural development would per se imply national development and MEA helps bring out this true essence of engineering which has been lost in today's world....
