MAC and GOPIO jointly organised a houseful event on 4 October 2025 at Taj Agra Restaurant, where over 75 participants gathered to explore the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The session focused on various AI tools and practical ways to integrate AI into everyday life safely, highlighting how to avoid scams and misinformation online.
The event was facilitated by Mr. Akhilesh Arora, who shared valuable insights and practical tips on using AI effectively. Our Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Surender Nagar, did a remarkable job in engaging the audience, conducting an informative AI Quiz, and sharing key points on the growing influence of artificial intelligence.
The evening also featured captivating poetry recitations by Anaya and Chabbra ji, adding a touch of art and creativity to the occasion. A special thank you to Ms. Naheed Khan for distributing laddoos and celebrating her birthday with everyone.
In the spirit of togetherness, we also celebrated an early Diwali by distributing sweets to all participants — adding joy and colour to the evening!
We express our sincere gratitude to MLA Peter Cain, Mr. Rajeev ji from the Indian High Commission, and Ms. Nicole Lawder for their presence and support.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our patrons — Ravi and Hema Nayyar, Mainul Haque ji, Niranjan Aggarwal ji, Ron and Monika Jokhan, Akhilesh ji, Surender ji, and Monika ji — for their continued encouragement and contribution to our community initiatives.
Special appreciation goes to Udaya for photography, Owen for managing the music system, and Monika Nagar for her invaluable help and coordination. Our sincere thanks also to Taj Agra Restaurant and Sami for their warm hospitality and excellent service. The event was a great success, reflecting the strong community spirit and enthusiasm for learning and collaboration.
