Science Day celebration at GMRT, Khodat. Following the success of the Interact Conference in January Rotary club of Pune Deccan Gymkhana and RC Poona North began final preparations for the exclusive Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) event of the year - INNOVISION 2024. The event was planned in two phases, with the first phase taking place at the Indira Group of Institutes, Tathavade campus on 10-11th February for college and post-graduate students. The second phase was held on 28th and 29th February at GMRT (Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope) near Narayangaon, coinciding with National Science Day. The collaboration between GMRT and Rotary, an external agency for the first time, was a matter of immense pride for RID 3131. Innovision 2024, a multi-district Residential RYLA at IGI campus, was attended by more than 400 students from over 30 districts of Maharashtra. The two-day program featured sessions by prominent figures from academia, social organizations and the corporate world, aimed at grooming the attendees into successful leaders. The event was made possible by the efforts of Host Club RCP Deccan Gymkhana & RCP North and Co-Host Clubs RC Nigdi, RCP Shivaji Nagar and RC Udyognagari, along with the support of the IGI Management and staff. The financial and logistic support from IGI under the astute leadership of Dr. Tarita Shankar, Chairperson IGI, was crucial for the event's success. The event received wide publicity in popular newsprint and extensive coverage on social media platforms. Innovision 2024, phase II at Narayangaon, was equally successful, with over 25,000 students visiting from various parts of the country to witness exemplary and innovative science projects. The event was organized for school children and showcased working models across various age groups.
