Report:
The webinar series Learn from Leaders marked its beginning with an informative and insightful session by Mr. Sampath Veeraraghavan, Global Chair, IEEE SIGHT. The goal of organising this webinar series is to prepare the audience to be a part of an interesting Proposal Writing Competition, and hence they are guided to come up with an amazing and professional proposal which they can submit to the IEEE SIGHT Committee to continue their project. With this aim, Mr.Sampath, in his session shared with the audience, how a proposal should be drafted and how the approach should be in requesting grants for that proposal. More importantly he enlightened the audience as to how one should think while coming up with a solution to a problem in the society, that how the project should be solution based and not just based on the problem. He shared his experience on how he started with Humanitarian Activities and what motivated him to continue in this field and ascend to the leadership position. This being an IEEE Event, he urged the audience to come up with technologically driven solutions to the problems faced by thelocals in their society and vicinity as technical solutions help improve quality of life. Following an interactive Q&A, a fun quiz was organised for the audience, the winners of which received IEEE goodies. Later on this successful session was concluded by presenting Mr.Sampath with a digital token of appreciation.
