The message from the former President of India to MGIS Students

Anjou and Pascal met Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the Presidential Headquarters) in Delhi. They presented the school and screened a documentary made by the students of grade 8- ‘The Matka Fridge Project’, a community service project done in collaboration with underprivileged students from a school in Bopal. It was an initiative to learn how to make a cooling device using artisanal techniques to preserve milk and vegetables in order to help the villagers preserve their perishable goods. The students then created about 25 matka fridges on demand, raised funds to subsidise the rate and distributed them to families living in that area.
