The guest speaker for the session was Ms. Seemantinee Khot who spoke on the interesting topic of 'Rurbanization'. Seemantinee, who is a farmer by choice is a sustainable development professional. In her talk, she focused on the recent trends of the urban and rural making inroads into each other's territory. Seemantinee, with her huge first-hand experience and extensive research in the domain gave new insights to the members about the rising trend of younger urban citizens moving to rural areas and contributing to its economy. She invited the members to visit her farmhouse located in Velhe in the outskirts of Pune city. Some even expressed interest to cycle to her farm.
