This year's Hastantaran theme, 'Jashn-e-Sitara', came alive in the first meeting between men- tors and Sitaras a day filled with heartfelt moments, ice-breaking games, and the sharing of dreams and aspirations. The event set the stage for a year of learning, growth, and lasting bonds.
Speaking on the occasion, Arati Nagaraj, Director, Abhyudaya SPJIMR said, "Sapne sabke hote hain... bas mauka chahiye." (Everyone has dreams; they just need an opportunity.)

Design Thinking in our community schools
|
In collaboration with Curiosity Gym, Abhyudaya is conducting a Design Thinking programme in 20 K-West ward schools. Around 30 students from each school are being trained in the Design Thinking process to identify real-world challenges and build rapid prototypes for a showcase. The students showcased creativity and problem-solving through innovative prototypes such as a Heavy Bag solution, Smart Bench, Ocean and Beach Cleaning System, Flood Control Dam model, Road Cleaning Robot, and Al-enabled Smart Glasses for the visually impaired. The program highlights how empathy, creativity, and technology can come together to design impactful solutions for society and the environment. |

Reflections by PGDM ADMAP Committee
The Assessment and Development of Managerial and Administrative Potential (ADMAP) is a unique immersive experience pioneered by SPJIMR. It enables participants to develop their administrative capabilities and management skills experientially. This two-credit course instils in the participant the core principles of self-learning and self-management through the prism of doing, observing, reflecting, and recording.
Abhyudaya has 16 students dedicated to this each year. We will be highlighting their reflections each month.
Aligned with the UN SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals), SPJIMR's Abhyudaya is a community-based organisation that provides mentoring and holistic after-school education to bright, underprivileged children (Sitaras = Stars), from low-income neighbourhoods in Mumbai's K-West ward so that they become independent and the schools and community around them improve.
