Launch of "AAKASH"

5 OCT., 2011 DELHI 

It was 5 Oct.,2011 day when "AAKASH" launched officially by Kapil Sibal HRD minister. I was one of the witness @ Delhi Vigyan bhawan.

Preparations started so many days before the launch and from IIT Rajasthan they arranged 4 AC buses from jodhpur to delhi for us to attend the function and those who want to go by train IIT was bearing expenses upto III AC.  Feeling was awesome as we received official cards issued by HRD ministry.

Journey was fantastic and we enjoyed lot during the journey. Faculty members were also with us and they were also enjoying. Some were smoking they were in casuals not in formals. They have done very good arrangements for our dinner. But journey was tiresome because we were going by bus.

In morning we reached Vigyan Bhawan and i was watching it like wow. There was huge media it was first time i was watching huge media personalities lively in front of my eyes some were arranging their cameras, some were talking on their phone, some were busy in preparing their notes, some were taking interview of guys like us and some were busy in preparing their copy and pen to write something. So this was the scene there about media personalities and with them there were huge number of students from all over india were representing their respective colleges.
 Scene was like perfect filmy scene a big auditorium, so many reporters and journalists standing with their cameras and waiting for a minister to come for  a press conference, waiting to click for a historical moment.
 Ya the special thing was that we were having a special designation in front of our seats as "Device Trainer" because we tested this device and we know how to operate it hence if any student face some difficulty then they can ask us for help.
At the last Kapil Sibal came with 2 more dignitaries and our director too. They took their seats and now kapil sibal launched the "AAKASH" with so many flashes of camera and flashes lightened the whole auditorium. Data wind founder some Mr. Tuli also gave his opinion and about manufacturing of this device. Devices were distributed among several students who came from several colleges and diversified background. After the end of the speech media personalities attacked on Kapil sibal and fired their questions on him. It was the time of interview and Mr. Tuli was running and media was running behind him.

So it was awesome to be part of it and we were like spectators there and were only for clapping and cheering and making the environment crowdy that' s all but still we discovered some enjoyment in it and helped and interacted with the guys who asked us about this project and vision behind it ...

Awesome  enjoyed ..
