हमारी प्यारी आरती पाई ने भी तकनीकी सलाहकार के पद से सेवानिवृत्त ली हैं।
पिछले १४ साल से वे सभी एनएनएसडब्लू रहनुमाओं की रहनुमा रही हैं, इसके लिए हम खूब शुक्रगुज़ार हैं।
उनकी जगह ले रही हैं तेजस्वी सेवकरी, जिनकी सहायता में हैं के. स्वामीनाथन और नेटवर्क कोऑर्डिनेटर वनिता माने।
Our beloved @AarthiPai also steps down as Technical Advisor to the Board.
We thank her for 14 years of tireless mentorship to all NNSW leadership.
She is succeeded by @TSevekari, assisted by @SIAAP_India's K. Swaminathan, & our Network Coordinator from @SanghSaheli Vanita Mane.
