"My pet services idea “Paws On” was chosen for its unique pitch. The award carries a prize of Rs 10,000. 

I also donated my entire prize earnings to The Auto-Immune Trust Fund for SLE patients at St. Johns Hospital in Bangalore, with whom I have been working for the last 2 years as a student volunteer. The attached picture is of me presenting the cheque to the Director of Finance at St. Johns Hospital.

I was invited to the St Johns Annual Directors Dinner this year and was humbled when the HOD referred to my donation as their most valuable contribution.

I was deeply touched to have received such a privilege and would like to thank TISB for the outlook on social service the school has given me."

Well done Saumya, we are all very proud of you.
