Together, they will visit local organisations within Zone XXV that are spearheading impactful projects such as school and village adoptions, vocational training for underprivileged youth, and implementing renewable energy solutions in remote areas.
These initiatives align with JCI’s global mission and contribute significantly to the development of the north-east region. During his visit, advocate Rekhesh Sharma will inaugurate several sustainable and impactful projects, demonstrating JCI India’s dedication to community development and empowerment.
