Great initiative IDF-Chennai !!

Its important that Young Achievers be brought out and their achievements be applauded. IDF-Chennai has been very quick in appreciating the efforts of a young girl. Please induct this girl as IDF Student Ambassador so that she can be a role model for other students. We need many such Gem Stones as a live inspiring examples. One candle can light many !!
