Acknowledgement

The idea of this yearbook is seeded in us by the visionary and pioneering Founders of the Young India Fellowship, they have constantly inspired us to proactively take up new challenges and taught us to find innovative ways to tackle problems and roadblocks to creating something that touches and inspires the lives of many. A seed needs proper nourishment to grow into a tree. Nothing substantial could have been achieved without the nurturing support and affection of the respected Dean of the Young India Fellowship, Aniha Brar, who based her trust in us. It gave us the courage to take up this project and it was her firm support that became the foundation stone of this yearbook.

From the 'Makers of Modern India' to the 'Foundations of Leadership' we were blessed with several fruits of knowledge, each one having a unique flavour that led to an experience no less than a revelation for all of us. All the respected professors and teaching assistants have been a sustained source of enlightenment and inspiration for us. They enthusiastically assisted and collaborated with us in this project, they are truly the pillars of this yearbook.

We would also want to thank the YIF Admissions and Outreach Team, the Programme Team, the Career Development Office, the Office of Student Life and the Administrative staff was always there whenever we needed them. The information and resources they seamlessly provided were vital and also brought richness and lush vibrancy to this yearbook.

The magnificent and incredible flowers of the yearbook are the fellows of the Young India Fellowship 2021, the amount of co-operation and engagement we appropriated from the fellows in making this yearbook was overwhelming. They not only encouraged us at every step but their constructive feedback polished up the yearbook.

Working on a yearbook is a daunting task and demands a lot of patience, dedication, and collaboration for the goal. As the roots lie below the ground and work constantly for the growth of the tree, we were very fortunate to have found such fellows who stuck to the cause and burnt the midnight oil whenever required. There were moments of despair but their sheer commitment towards the yearbook and their enthusiastic zeal brought this yearbook to a successful close.

We would also like to thank our dear friend Aman Jagdev for coming up with the name "Tucked Frangipani" for the Yearbook, a true blue Ashoka culture.
