Theme: ACT TO IMPACT

Act to Impact will bring forth many stories of people who have taken a step forward towards creating an influence on not just the society as a whole but touching the heart of every person who comes across them. In this vast world with such a huge population, there are a few prominent ones who stand out different from the crowd by dedicating their lives towards making a difference. It is the extra mile they run, the extra hours they stay up, the extra initiative they take to make things a little easier for the ones around them, that makes them stand out as the brightest stars in the sky.This event is an attempt to convey new innovative ideas, ideas that are diverse in their own ways and have the force to fire the minds of the audience. As these speakers will be local just like the ideas, the audience will find it very appealing to get inspired by the people around them. Through this event the audience will become aware of their power to make a change and how every action of theirs is counted towards making even the slightest of change in and around them.
As the famous baseball player, Jackie Robinson rightly said “Life is not important except than the impact it has on other lives.”Act to Impact is a pivotal cycle in which few eminent individuals make an impact through their actions and inspire another set of people. Those inspired individuals then go on to inspire more people and this goes on.
