‘Volunteers of Synopsys engaged themselves with youth, gardening and painting the facility. Rainbow Home was chosen because it was one of the organizations they could make greatest impact on youth in need,’ said Dr. Pradeep Dutta, Managing Director of Synopsys India. Dr. Dutta further said that, “The goal was fulfilled because more than 20% of the employees participated in the event. I could feel the positive impact made by the volunteers in the community where they lived and worked on 11th May from morning till evening. Close to 200 volunteers participated from Synopsys”, he added. The day concluded with a thanks giving note by Dr. Pradip Dutta, MD of Synopsys, India to all volunteers of Synopsys and people representing iVolunteer and Need Base India (NBI).
