Current Committee

President: Malti B. Vaghela (mbv20)

I'm Malti a third year from Queens' studying Phys Nat Sci. Last years committee did a great job getting more social events going and this year I want to build on that and indroduce a well overdue cultural side to this society. Get in touch if you have any ideas or want anything done and please come up to me and say hi at our next event if I don't already know you :) Afterall as cheesy as it sounds, this is your IndiaSoc! Get keen and get involved!

Vice President: Neeru Ravi (nr336)

Hi, I�m Neeru, a 2nd Year Engineer at Pembroke, and I�ve recently joined the committee as Vice President. I thoroughly enjoyed all the events India Society organised last year, so I�m keen to make sure that this year�s events are just as amazing! Having been born and brought up in India, and visiting it every year, I am very much in touch with India and its culture. I hope to help shape India Society as a place where you can come not only to have fun and socialise, but also for intellectual discussions and to participate in causes beneficial to the future success and growth of India. I�m also the Ethnic Minorities Officer at Pembroke College, involved in the Cambridge University Indian Classical Arts Society, and a keen cricketer. I�m friendly and approachable, so please get in touch if you have any suggestions as to how we can improve as a society, or just want to find out more about what India Society do.

Sponsorship: Rishi Dutta (rd413)

Hello and Jai Hind. I'm Rishi, one of CUIS's sponsorship officers for this year. Now with better economic conditions, our long-term vision for sponsorship will focus on higher duration sponsors as well as a local Cambridge-based presence. During my year as a committee member I hope to contribute in raising awareness among companies about our charitable donations. Ultimately, we hope to run as many events as possible for you and to continue Nehru's aim of promoting Indian culture. If you have any questions or ideas about sponsorship please e-mail me on rd413@cam.ac.uk

Publicity: Prisila Ahmed (pa317)

Hey! I'm Prisila, a third year Medic at Newnham. As Publicity Officer, my role involves keeping you updated and importantly... getting you excited (!) about the amazing events we have planned for you this coming year!

Grad Liason: Apoorva Jayaraman (aj328)

I am a 3rd year PhD student in Astronomy. I did a Masters degree in Physics at Oxford, before which I did my undergrad at St Stephen's College, Delhi. I'm very passionate about Indian Classical Dance and you'll probably mostly see me around at cultural shows and performances in town! In CUIS, I represent the interests of the Indians at Cambridge who have spent the larger part of their lives in India, which happens to be chiefly the Graduate community. I personally came into Cambridge looking forward to share an extremely vibrant and dynamic intellectual environment with fellow Indians here, and I let this be the main motivation of any contribution I might make to CUIS. Graduates!!! if you have any suggestions to make CUIS' current events more amenable to you / if you feel CUIS is lacking that little something you're looking for , I'm your person! Just shout for me!

Sports: Rohan Prakash (rp432)

Hey everyone! I'm Rohan, your new sports officer and I'm a second year medic at Downing. It would be great to see lots of you getting involved with India Soc sports this year, there should be something for everyone, including badminton, cricket, football and also watching sport :)There will be opportunities to represent India Soc so get keen! If you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know and we'll get organising.

Webmaster: Ayesha Sengupta (as2003)

Hi, I'm a third-year Bio NatSci at Corpus. My main roles as the webmaster involve maintaining the website and the mailing list. I'll be operating mostly from a backstage-esque perspective, so you won't see much of me, though this could just be due to the fact that I'm supposedly vertically challenged.

General & Welfare: Nitasha Dhiri (npd25)

Heya, I'm Nitasha and I'm a second year Economist at Girton. I'm stepping in to the General and Welfare role on India Society this year so if you have any problems during the year get in touch with me. Hope you enjoy everything India Soc has to offer this year!
