Sangeeta Naik
Jishu is a very creative and responsible person. He can enliven the project management task with his timeless video clips, write inspiring poems, compose them and sing to lift the spirit of the team. He sings. I see his presence in a team, to be a great asset to team building, He is always greater than the problem. A team person, ready to serve in his role as a team leader. A quick learner, when it came to bio conservation in general, and wild life conservation in particular. He conserves the great tradition of Ravindra Sangeet at the same time he accepts ways of life with different communities. Knowing him very closely, I wish his soul dwells in eternal abundance as well.
