CRY CEO Ingrid Srinath Visits IIM Calcutta Campus

Ingrid and Ila also talked about the changing vision of CRY. The two have been involved in revisioning CRY to take it forward. "CRY is committed to enable people to take responsibility for the situation of the deprived Indian child." This new vision of CRY is bound to take it far ahead of other NGOs.

When one of the students asked why CRY does build schools of its own, Ingrid replied, "The government has the responsibility of providing basic social facilities to its people, especially its children. CRY does not build schools; we get the government to put in systems, get them working and improve upon them."

Ingrid and Ila, two of IIM Calcutta's finest products, went down a road that few others take. It sent chills down everyone's spine when Ingrid finished the talk by quoting Rippan Kapur, the late founder of CRY, "What I can do, I must do."

Concluded.
