Indian Society: Social Secretary

As a proud member of the Indian community, I hope to take advantage of this role to enhance the value and reach of our events, ensuring they enrich our diverse and vibrant culture. 

I aim to push for more lively events throughout the year- from a spectacular Diwali fireworks display and a cultural fair bursting with the flavors of Indian street cuisine to an elegant Indian fashion show that parades the rich tapestry of India's traditional attire, including sarees, lehengas, sherwanis and dhotis, and a friendly cricket tournament. By drawing on my leadership experience gained from leading several entrepreneurial initiatives, I'm dedicated to cultivating a welcoming and inclusive student community. Essentially, these events I aim to organize are designed to make you feel at home away from home.

It turns out many of us are being held back by the high costs and limited papa ka paisa, which is why I will try to guarantee that our events remain within the financial reach of most students. If you want paisa vasool events, you know who to vote for.

Hi guys! I’m Yashita, I study medicine and I am running for social secretary!


Indian soc events were a huge part of my first year and I want to apply for social sec to help plan those events that are now core memories in my fresher experience and create the same for members in the coming year!

I believe I have strong organisational and leadership skills, which I think are important in planning big events like Jashn and Dhamaal. At school, I planned and ran a whole-year ‘sport day’ for leavers. Whilst volunteering at my hockey club, I organised and ran tournaments for teams from the entire county. I therefore have experience dealing with the timing and organisation of events involving large numbers of people. 

I love talking to new people and as an friendly and extroverted person, I think I would help new members feel comfortable and welcomed at Indian society events, making me a great fit for social sec.

As a fresher, I was able to get to know people better at smaller events, so next year, as social sec, I want to endorse planning more small, casual events like board games nights as well as more events involving Indian soc families, where we can play team based games. I am part of RUMS badminton and we had loads of events like these throughout the year (as part of welfare), so I have some idea and experience of what kind of events we can run.

I’m really excited about next year’s committee and would love to get involved in a committee known for its incredible events!
