Successfully organized Marathon'12

So.. We pulled off the Marathon!!!! And Boy! we pulled it off well despite all the apprehensions and negativity surrounding it.We the members of Student Council would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the entire batch for the support.

It all started with the responsibility of the Marathon being entrusted upon us. A small team came to our rescue and we started building on the concept bit by bit from September onwards. I'd specially like to thank Karunesh, Saurabh Patel, Harendra Sahu, Kalpesh and Deepali for coming upfront to take up the challenge and  conceptualize & envision the entire event. The first big hurdle was to get sponsors for the event which we all know how difficult it is. This team worked day and night without losing any motivation to finalize the first few sponsors. There were some hiccups and many questions asked on the very existence of the event but the determination of the core team was not deterred and we could finally move ahead. 

Then came the herculean task of publicizing the event and I thank the publicity team for the efforts they made. Their work has been stupendous whether it was to convince the schools to participate or create a general awareness about the event.Thanks to the Design team that helped the PR for publicity of the event ; Josyula, Prabhakar Banerji and Abhishek Kesarwani. Special thanks to Prabhakar for his continued support till the end helping us make last minute changes.We are also grateful to  IRIC's support for approaching the corporate sponsorship , specially Prabhjot and Sanjeev . And not to mention the tireless efforts of Mukesh, Vijay, Prem, Pallav, Divyanshu and team to publicize the event locally and get mass registrations.

We also thank Saurabh Aggarwal for his efforts in publicizing the event and for getting us in touch with Sindhu sir (Coach MDU) without whom the event would not have been what it was.
