great initiative. Technopark is a pool of great talents, and it can be seen in every years TECH A BREAK event. we are lucky to get such talented people in everything from music, dance, direction, and what not..??
this is the first time, a body is forming to leverage the potential of our youth. this kind of clubs needs to be encouraged and more and more events should be conducted and give motivation to everyone to take part of it.
I’m knowing about it for the first time, even if it was launched sometimes back. at least they could have send a mail to every company HR’s to intimate it with people.
hope it can go a long way forward, and wishing the very best to Natana.

The official launch event of “Natana” is being planned, and it might be organized during the last week of January 2011.
