The document discusses the evolution and activities of LINK, the Local Integrated Network of Kerala IEEE Student Branches, which served as the model for R10 GINI, the Global Integrated Network of IEEE students in Region 10. It describes how LINK expanded from 9 branches in 2004 to 43 branches today, networking student branches across Kerala and adding value to IEEE student membership. The success of LINK led to the creation of R10 GINI to better integrate and support student branches throughout Asia-Pacific. R10 GINI aims to activate inactive branches, form new branches, and increase student activities through its hub structure and regional networking.
