| Description: |
KOA President
2007-2008
Sunil Fotedar is a Sr. IT professional and has worked in telecom, defense, space- industries. His association with KOA has been since 1990-91 when the Kashmiri Pandits back in Kashmir were driven out of their homes. He was Houston chapter president for KOA in 1991. As a web curator on a volunteer basis, he developed and maintained web servers for KOA (1996-2001), and maintained and contributed to the development of several community fora, especially KOA-sponsored KPnet - a forum that allowed KPs worldwide to stay connected - long before yahoogroups and googlegroups came into existence.
Sunil has been interacting with several India-based KP associations in Jammu, Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata over past several years. He has created a variety of community websites, the first Kashmiri Pandit to create what has been referred to as Virtual Sharda Peeth - a Repository of a Kashmiri Pandit’s culture, heritage, religious practices, language, music, history and political literature.

To recognize for his efforts, Sunil was presented with Special Zaan Award by the Kashmiri Pandit Association, Mumbai. He was featured as an Indomitable Personality in The Sharada Tarangini, Vol. 1, No. 3, March/April-June 2004 issue, the Official Newsletter of Kashmiri Sewak Samaj, Faridabad. He was also presented KOA Plaque for Internet Activities (1997), first of its kind given to any volunteer. |
