Team Collaboration

The team members were as follows:

Shivang Sethi, who with his proficiency in Autodesk Maya, created 3D models for the project, and also put in months of research to obtain information.

Varnika Chawla assisted Krishna to realize his full potential and prove a true asset for the team. She was also instrumental in getting the team permission to interview such eminent personalities, and also interviewed them.

Anika Dhir who was the diligent hard-worker behind the whole project, issuing various books from the school library to ensure we gleaned as much information as possible. Making this project would not have been possible had she not brought the entire team together to work as one.

Krishna Verma, who was a limitless source of valuable information. His unique perception of the leader has opened up a new facet to Gandhi's ideologies.

Kshipra Hemal, who provided us with a lot of information, and informed us about the popularity of Gandhi's ideals in USA.

Ananya Khaitan, who not only compiled all the data, but also designed the entire site. This project also inspired him to visit Mahatma Gandhi's memorial - 'Gandhi Smriti' - and also his tomb - Rajghat. His Adobe Photoshop skills were an invaluable asset to the team.

He was the pivotal member of the entire team.

Team Diversity

Our team included students from different age groups as well as a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. We had a student from North Carolina, USA, four of the brightest from Delhi Public School (R. K. Puram), and finally a gem from DPS Shiksha Kendra, the organization set up for the education of under-privileged children.
