My last article on varnam was on july'08. I did mention that we were working towards making VARNAM as a NGO. Today, we are heading towards the transformation with a great momentum. On 26thSept'08 we launched VARNAM as a professional community working for the betterment of people and we did make a promise to every one that we will go the extra mile !!
It was a beautiful event at SMOT Business School Campus , Chennai. We did invite our director Dr.Narasimhan to be the chief guest. Our director was excited about the whole idea and extended his support towards the project. We did work out with the rotary club of temple city and Isha Foundation to get saplings . We donated 50 saplings to SMOT Business School. We also plant to launch a PLANT INDEX as a part of Varnam to evaluate our work against global warming. We came up with a cool model for Varnam. We mapped different social activities with VIBGYOR in tune with our name ( Varnam means COLORS in tamil language). We have planned to intensify our activities in each and every vertical and spread our wings. I personally feel VANRAM as a movement to spread love and we are sure that we will go the extra mile very soon !! Our dearest prof.RTN called VARNAM way as PAY IT FORWARD. Today, all the trustees are working towards this.
On 26th Sept'08 Prof. RTN gave Rs.10,000 for a student pursuing BA Nursing at MA Chidambaram college for Nursing, giving birth to varnam scholarship. In the last few months my respect towards Prof.RTN has grown exponentially. Infact, i plan to compile the series of learnings from him at Cup & Saucers into a book.
Today , we have our own website and we have 15 trustees ( Varnam about to be registered as a Public Charitable Trust) and i am proud to be a varnamite !!! We are planning to launch a operational team based on the Varnam Model. We strongly believe that technology can enable us to achieve more and we are spreading our wings towards many activities. Check our website www.varnam.co.in for the recent updates. Register to our newsletter and events alert. Join the movement to spread love !!!
