Gurukulam students took active participation during the Meet & Greet program on 17th August, organised at Akshar Arbol International School at Injambakkam.  

To encourage our students and to get inspired by Commander Abhilash, Captain Vivek Shanbhag sponsored the entire event for our Grade X - XII students.

Commander Abhilash Tomy shared his experience with the students. He spoke about how he overcame his challenges to achieve the Golden Globe, a solo non stop race around the world which was an eye opener for the young generation.  

The program was well organised  and students enjoyed the session with his presentation.
