Saksham, with support from HCL Foundation and Department of Basic Education - UP, empowered six students from government schools in Morna, Solar Khan, Sakhpur, and Naglacharandas in Noida through educational assistance as part of the 'Inclusion through Assistive Technology' initiative. Three students were provided with smartphones equipped with Bluetooth keyboards, while the other three received tactile mathematics kits. This initiative aims to empower visually impaired children and enable their educational experience. #HCLFoundation #SakshamEducation #EmpowerWithHCLFoundation #InclusionThroughAssistiveTech #UPDepartmentOfBasicEducation #EducationForAllAbilities #AssistiveTechnologyEmpowers #TechForInclusion #EmpoweringVisuallyImpaired #EducationalAssistance #DigitalInclusion #SakshamInitiative #SupportingEducation #EmpowerStudents #AccessibleLearning #HCLFoundationSupports #InclusiveEducation #SmartphonesForLearning #TactileMathKits #NoidaEducation #VisuallyImpairedEmpowerment #AssistiveTechSuccess #TransformingEducation #EducationEquality #InnovateForInclusion #EmpoweringCommunities

In light of the tragic incident in Kolkata, this Independence Day holds even greater significance. As parents, educators, and responsible citizens, we must collectively take a solemn pledge to fight against the darkness of ignorance and violence that still plagues our society. As an educator , I vow to educate my students not only in academics but in the values of empathy, respect, and equality. Together , we must nurture a generation that understands the importance of treating every individual with dignity and ensuring that no one suffers in silence. Education is our most powerful tool to combat the injustices that persist, and it is our duty to use it to shape a safer, more compassionate society. Let’s commit to raising our voices against violence and inequality and to educating the young minds of today to build a future where freedom truly means safety, respect, and justice for all. Let this be the promise we make—not just for ourselves, but for every life that deserves to grow up in a world free from fear.

On this Teachers' Day, we reflect on the profound role educators play in shaping not just minds but the very fabric of our society. However, as we honor this noble profession, we are forced to confront the recent tragic and horrific incident involving a young doctor from R.G. Kar Hospital in Kolkata, whose life was brutally taken. This incident is a stark reminder that even as we celebrate the guiding light of knowledge, we must also address the darkness of violence and injustice that continues to plague our society. As we honor teachers today, let us also pledge to create a safer, more respectful environment—one where education not only enlightens but empowers us to stand firmly against all forms of violence and injustice. #justiceforrgkar

Most of the time we always focus on educating people about life, science, people, history, social studies, etheics, moral studies, manners etc. but when the learner do not implement those lessons in their life, all the learnings go down the drain and it means nothing. That's how many people behave now a days in the society. Even very much educated person behaves like, he or she just came out of jungle and have no sense of societal manners. Seeing around in my society, day by day, people behaving like monsters make me sit down and think about it again if we are better than animals or they are better than us. Kolkata rape case, made me think that whoever did that, weren't they taught how to behave with women? Weren't they taught about asking consent. Even animals and birds demand for consent and try to impress the other gender. How people even think about things like that where we always teach to behave good with women. Education matters only when people who take it, use it in their day-to-day life, otherwise it's just waste.

I did the most shocking thing when I was 18 and it crushed me. I cancelled my admission at my dream college: Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi. After my 12th results, my dad and I left for Delhi to apply for LSR. Having grown up in a tier 2 city till 18, this was a huge deal for me. The exposure, the network and the prestige. The moment I stepped on that campus, I knew my hard work had been worth it. I wrapped up documentation. It was all finalised, I had passed the eligibility and was going to be an LSR graduate. Until this one thing came in the way. This was 2013, a few months into the Nirbhaya gangrape case.People shuddered at the thought of Delhi. While my father was as supportive as he could be about this, he had one condition: You will take admission only if you get a campus hostel at LSR. That was the only way they would sleep peacefully at night. As it turns out, they had only two openings at the campus hostel for my course. I didn't get the hostel. You know what it meant? I had to give up on my dream college, cancel my admission and head back. Can you believe it? I had worked REALLY hard to get a perfect score for this to happen. Would a boy's father worry about this? No. Would a boy have to give up on his dream due to unsafe accommodation? No. Would a boy's parents put such a condition? No. The truth is, incidents like the one that happened in Kolkata affect us on many levels. BUT it affects women more. Fewer parents will send their daughter to work. Fewer parents will encourage their daughters to follow their dreams. Fewer women doctors. Fewer women engineers. Fewer women graduates. Fewer girls in school. This needs to end. As a lawyer, I realise there are gaps. But law has never been enough. We need to change mindsets and that is the toughest of all. We need dialogue and men as our allies. This affects all of us. My parents were compelled to pull me out of my dream college, I hope no 18 year old has to go through that agony. Worse, no parent is pushed into doing it. In that hope. #kolkatarapecase #sexualharrassment #genderjustice #policy Views are personal.
