Theme: Envisioning Tomorrow

All of us dream of a better tomorrow, a better life, a better world but without a concrete vision everything is merely a dream. The 7 billion people on the face of our planet working in different conditions, enduring different hardships have a different perspective.
We wish to share the stories of some indomitable personalities who have fought several hardships and still strived to work for the betterment of our world. Experience is the best teacher which brings out the best in us, and learning about these experiences will only motivate us tread our own paths with keeping the lessons learned in our mind. The future lies in our hands and with proper guidance from our predecessors we shall make this world a better place. Don’t just dream of a better tomorrow, Envision it !
