Congratulations to Sikandar, who has earned the Alumni of the Week title once again.
Sikandar has organized a series of street plays in the Hubli-Dharwad area, in which Fellows will spread awareness on rainwater harvesting across the twin cities. He will also be sponsoring all of these plays. This will give Fellows an opportunity to be involved in a new issue and to get out of the classroom and into the community once again.
