After the dignitaries shared their views, then it was the turn for a 21 years old girl “Moushamikka Rangarajan” to give her presentation in front of the gathering. This 21 years old girl attracted the audience with her invigorate words stating -” Our truest life is when, we are in our dream awake”. This girl generally runs a school mostly for the orphan children to educate them, to teach them the proper way to live life, to make them civilized and to enable them to compete with the fast, sophisticated and modern world. This girl with her words and also the contribution of her team towards the society and the orphan children made everyone spell bound.
