In a bid to come together to create and reinforce a spirit of positive change, Mentors and Sitaras celebrated Green Games on the theme of “creativity meets responsibility” during their last visit of the year. They engaged in recycling games and more throughout the day. Fun-fair-styled games were crafted from recycled materials. There were eco-friendly versions of Quidditch, Twister, and Carrom.
Participants sorted trash using tools made out of recycled materials, then tossed the trash into the correct containers.
One activity “Guiding your Sitara through the gates of Abhyudaya”, required players to blow through a straw to maneuver the bottle cap through a maze into the Abhyudaya “gate”.
The day was replete with laughter, creativity, and unforgettable memories of nurturing relationships and talents.

We are pleased to announce an upcoming webinar with Ashutosh Sharma, one of our esteemed alumni and Founder and CEO of Spread Your Wings Idea Labs.
Ashutosh will be sharing with you invaluable insights on developing gravitas and mastering the art of selling products, projects, and your ideas. The skills required at the onset of our careers differ from those required as we move up the ladder.
As you move up, the ladder, the ability to "Sell" stands out as the most crucial skill. Great leaders are able to convincingly sell their vision to their teams and stakeholders. Inability to sell leads to missed job promotions, hitting the proverbial corporate glass ceiling OR being frustrated in our careers.
This session promises to be an enlightening session, you will walk away with a few practical tips to implement in your personal and professional lives.
