We conducted our online Annual General Meeting on 27th November. The meeting's agenda was focused on extending the reach of Koshish and outlining its ongoing projects, achievements, and future goals. 

The Motivational Start

Sumit Verma, the additional secretary at Koshish, started the meeting by greeting all the attendees. He played a short video showing Koshish's Journey, followed by the DD News coverage of our student Anshika. Chetan Giri Goswami, the Founder & President of Koshish, gave an excellent presentation about the journey of Koshish. The journey from 5 students to nearly 300 students was very motivational. He mentioned the innovative teaching style at Koshish, where students are grouped based on their level of understanding.
