AIT to conduct fellowship program on corruption

Bengaluru-based
Association of IT dealers (AIT) will organize a fellowship program on
June 30 at Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, Bengaluru. The theme of this
program will be: 'Role of free enterprise in establishing Corruption
Free India'.

This meet is a part of
the
sponsored fellowship program which is organized every two months
where the association invites industry leaders, consultants and
eminent personalities to address the issues.

This fellowship program
will be conducted by TR Raghunandan, an ex-IAS officer from Karnataka
and Ramesh Ramanathan, co-founder, Janaagraha, an NGO.

Talking more about the
topics R Shreedhar, president, AIT said, “Corruption is not only
political in nature, it exists in every form. The invited speaker
Raghunandan, who resigned from his job because of massive corruption
prevailing in the society, would deliver a talk on how
computerization can eliminate corruption.”

“The other speaker
Ramanathan will speak on the main theme: 'Role of free enterprise in
establishing Corruption Free India',” said Anantharam V Varayur,
executive committee member, AIT , who is also heading the fellowship
program.

Besides the fellowship
program, the association is also planning to establish a hardware
training center to train its members. Under the corporate social
responsibility, the association will organize a Health Day, where
free health checkup camps will be set up, in July, 2011.

Founded in 1997, AIT was
formed with the objective to fight for the removal of turnover tax on
IT products. Currently, it has 585 registered members.
