The expedition was a one of a kind initative under the able leadership of Lt. Cdr. (Dr) Pravin Deosthalee & Prof. Shivaprasad .M and the robust support of FIAT. It was a sterling example of teamwork, discipline and adventure, in an activity undertaken by any college. The cooperation given to the expedition by the various district authorities, military establishments, academic and religious institution at various places played a critical role in ensuring the success of this expedition. Various news-papers like Mumbai Mirror, Gujarat Samachar, Dainik Bhaskar, Rajasthan Patrika, Punjab Kesri, Dainik Jagran, Samna, etc and news channels like Star Maaza, ETV Gujarati, JCBL, AajTak, Headlines Today, ETV Rajasthan etc gave prominent coverage to the expedition. The team is really grateful for coverage provided by the print and electronic media at almost all the places. It is important to note that the cars provided by FIAT performed flawlessly during the entire course of the expedition. The support provided to the expedition by the staff of various service stations of FIAT throughout the journey was immensely laudable. The success of this first expedition has given us immense confidence in organizing many such similar expeditions in the future. Hopefully ‘Securing Borders- Drive’ would serve as a first step towards a long lasting relationship between Chetana College & FAIPL for many such expeditions in the future.(Concluded)
