SCI-GSO 2021–2022 Elections

Nominee for SCI-GSO Vice President - BIO

My name is Raj and I am pursuing my Master of Science in Information Science from the School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh. Talking about myself and some of my leadership skills and some additional details makes me happy and smile due to the variety of great experiences I have had over my school and college years. Every opportunity I've got to do something for the students, people and the society is a something which I will cherish all my life. I was very active in college extracurricular activities and have demonstrated creativity, strong leadership, and event management skills. I have shown leadership in organising various national level events. As Organizing Group Head for KJSCE Students' Council, I organized many events across the year like Abhiyantriki, a national level technical festival; Skream, a national inter-collegiate competition, and Symphony, our college's cultural festival to name a few. I was instrumental in organizing competitive events like hackathons, and paper presentations. I was also active in organizing the Tech Expo at Abhiyantriki which included various national agencies participating like the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Indian Army, Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force among others. I was also active in communicating and convincing companies to participate in placement fairs and sponsorships. Not only technical but in terms of cultural, we have hosted artists like Amit Trivedi, Vishal and Shekar, Benny Dayal, Nucleya and many other musical greats. Among the other things as part of KJSCE Students' Council, I did beach cleanup, books and clothes donation to orphanages and also a Railway Station makeover to name a few as part of the Parvaah initiative. My leadership and event management skills were recognized by many companies and colleges by making me a Brand Ambassador and Campus Ambassador. Some of these places where I was a Brand Ambassador include companies like OnePlus, Google, MG, Xiaomi, Realme, Uber and Thomas Cook India; and places I was a Campus and College Ambassador were Techfest, IIT Bombay; Techkriti, IIT Kanpur; Technovanza, VJTI; ShARE World Seminar; Padarth, IIT Bombay; and Wooplr.
