My circle of events in Jaipur and Kolkata

Rajasthan Forum meeting in progress

June 4, 2016: I returned to Kolkata yesterday night after a three-night stay in Jaipur. First three days of June were packed with activities and circle of events.

On June 1 there was a Rajasthan Forum meeting in which a brainstorming session took place on various ideas its implementation. Some crucial decisions were taken after deliberations.

On June 3 there was the World Environment Day function and Prabha Khaitan Foundation organized a tree plantation function in collaboration with ITC Rajputana. The Indian Federation of the United Nations Associations (IFUNA) and Spagia Foundation were the collaborators for this event.

The event was held at the Prakriti area of ITC Rajputana where the Pink City’s prominent social, cultural and business organizations planted tree saplings together to mark the World Environment Day which technically falls on June 5.

ITC Rajputana made arrangements for a great set up and the Shunya Aqua water bottles were a big hit. Shunya Aqua water is ITC’s flavoured water which they serve in their various hotels. My appreciation and thanks to Spagia Foundation that takes care of under-privileged children and a group of children came to help the guests to plant the saplings.

There will be another session of Author's Afternoon session with Swedish author Zac O'Yeah today evening. Zac had earlier been a guest writer at the Jaipur Write Circle event.
