An Introduction to the OSS
The Overall Framework… simplified
1. The LSSS and the OSS are two independent bodies with NO overlap in scope of operations and / or activities
2. All OS and/or members of the OSS who form part of the LSSS imply NO OPERATIONAL LINK between the two independent
bodies (Example: OS President and Past Presidents)
3. The OSS is NOT a platform to discuss matters pertaining to the LSSS
a) All activities / discussions of the LSSS are confidential to the LSSS members

Committee across all Blocks (This shall ensure reaching out to
maximum OS updating the directory with current OS Profiles)
• Focus on participation and contribution from the fraternity viz FOSS
(Friends Of Sanawar Society)
• Build approachability to the OSS via structured communication
channels (sanawar.com), further suggestions welcome
• To ensure participation by current Chapters in a proactive manner and
to open fresh Chapters
• To continue the Polo as well as revive the Polo/Monsoon Ball
Focus and Prioritization
1. Strengthen Approachability / Communication conduits
2. The Old Sanawarian Fraternity– Assess Chapters to energize and enhance activities
– Promote participation in OSS initiatives
– Create forums /platforms for OS intra action
3. The School– Raising Capital
– In Kind Contributions
Building Approachability
1. To ensure improved participation by the OS Fraternity on the
Sanawar.com (current members >800 from a fraternity of
4000 + members) this must be built up to the highest
possible level through the Nominating Committee (Tip…
identify the leaders of every batch from your block & push
them constantly)
Interacting with the LSS…
• To be receptive to the LS(S)S and board members in any
requirements they may have via a single point of contact
from the Executive Committee – The OS President
