QMTI will launch an initiative called Hrunn on October 21.
The initiative aims at respectable rehabilitation of differently-abled soldiers of the Indian armed forces.
As part of its ongoing centenary year celebrations Queen Mary’s
Technical Institute (QMTI), in association with Redefine Concepts, will
be launching an initiative — Hrunn – Ab Hamari Jimmedari — at
Balgandharva Rangmandir, 6 pm on October 21.
The initiative aims at respectable rehabilitation of differently-abled soldiers of the Indian armed forces.
The inauguration and logo unveiling will be at the hands of former
captain of the Indian cricket team and chairman of BCCI Selective
Committee, Chandu Borde. The occasion will also see the presence of
renowned scientist and DRDO Director-General Anil Datar,
founder-president of Lakshya Foundation Anuradha Prabhdesai and actor
and association member for QMTI centenary committee Vikram Gokhale.
CEO of QMTI Col. Devendra Gupta (Retd.) said, “We are in the process
of upgrading the training facilities and infrastructure of the
institute. We want to raise awareness about the nobility of the
institute. Hrunn aims towards participation of public at large in this
cause.”
QMTI has been working for and imparting vocational training to
differently-abled ex-servicemen or those rendered unfit for service in
the Armed Forces due to medical reasons or prolonged medical treatment
for the last 99 years.
But, with this initiative, it aims to further its cause by generating funds to help make these soldiers more equipped and empowered. Redefine Concepts will be working as the official communication partner for this cause throughout the year.
Redefine Concepts will be coming up with different initiatives throughout the year to raise funds to support QMTI.
QMTI was founded in Mumbai on May 16, 1917 by Lady Marie Willingdon, wife of the then Governor of Bombay province. In 1922, QMTI was shifted to a better and 17.3-acre location at Khadki.
