In our continuous effort to serve the Asian-Indian community in the United States, we are proud to further our “Bharat Yatra – A Journey to India” initiative for the eighth year. This year we have asked our participants to describe, in less than 500 words, a brief essay on the topic “What role I can play to eradicate hunger in India”.
After receiving an overwhelming response with articulate and thoughtful essays from teens across the United States, our panel of judges has chosen fourteen promising finalists. The fourteen finalists will get a unique opportunity to visit Rajasthan, India.
The trip will not only enable the participants to explore the rich cultural diversity and unity of India but will give them a hands-on experience in working closely with the local community.
The group departed from New York on July 24, 2010 and returned on August 8, 2010.
The participants are led by two of New York Life’s Asian-Indian Market Unit managers, Mr. Ashwin K. Verma (CVP-Cultural Market Media Manager) & Mr. Srinivas R. Ranga (AVP-Market Management). Under their able guidance and experience the group will spend two weeks in India visiting different places of attraction and learning about India’s culture and heritage.
We strongly believe that in our earnest effort to help these promising teens to connect with their distant motherland, they will surely have an underlying impact on their lives. We hope that they will not forget what a glorious and fascinating experience India has offered them during their short but important trip and what they can offer to India in times to come. |
