Ms. Vipanchi V, Faculty Supervisor - Enactus JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), introduced the esteemed Chief Guests, Ms. Vani Murthy and Ms Ibadat Jishtu, after which they were called upon the stage to address the gathering. A film documentary that provided an overview of all Enactus - JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) past year projects and events was shown.

The seven projects for 2022–2023 were introduced one at a time, with the chief guests transferring leadership to the project heads at each stage.

• Project Rangde: The initiative attempts to break through the textile business with a novel and ecological idea by dying fabrics with floral waste and making them into cloth bags, pouches, and scrunchies.
• Project Kalaa: A programme that helps replenish the declining flora while addressing the problem of expanding paper trash. The goal of this project is to create standard stationery items that are made from recycled paper and contain plantable seeds.
• Project Khaady: By providing edible and biodegradable cutlery that is safe for use and encourages sustainability, it seeks to provide consumers with an alternative to plastic cutlery.
• Project Meira: Aims to develop a bamboo lantern to tackle the power crisis.
• Project Nesara: Produces bio-enzymes, which are liquid solutions of natural enzymes that may be used on a variety of domestic surfaces for cleaning and treatment. It is created with specific amounts of leftover fruit and vegetable waste.
• Project Viva: Strives to produce kits filled with handcrafted and natural self-care products that are cruelty-free and ethically sourced.
• Project Dhaaga: Aims to raise awareness about the adverse effects of single-use plastic and polythene covers by reusing plastic bags to make yarn and crochet them into durable products.

Ms. Ibadat Jishtu shared her views on the event and expressed support to all the project teams. Nikhil MS, the Faculty Advisor of Enactus - JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), shared a few words about the Enactus team and extended his sincere regards to the chief guests. Ms. Ibadat Jishtu was fascinated with Project Viva and assured the team that the growing international demand for natural products could help their natural skincare line. She expressed her warm wishes for the team’s future endeavours. Ms. Vani Murthy admired the concept of Project Nesara and shared her preference for utilising bio-enzymes for cleaning because they are safer and more environmentally friendly than the chemical ones available in the market. She expressed her support for Project Dhaaga and showed the team her tote bag made of plastic waste. Both the guests showed a positive response to the idea of Project Meira as well.
