He says - “It was fantastic to be a part of SSTH'18 of all the wonderful things that I saw that day, the energy, the inspired kids and their science projects were simply brilliant.
As a social entrepreneur and an educator myself, I take this opportunity to congratulate you and your team for making SSTH & other initiatives happen - our younger generation needs platforms, exposure like that to realise their true potential and be active contributors in nation building.
I also had the opportunity of interacting with your 1st year students and faculty members involved in Social Innovation programme, it was warming to see so much commitment and work going in that direction. Kudos to the team!
I am amazed to see how committed you are to make Sahyadri the hub of Innovation and industries and thus create a new paradigm in STEM Education. We need more education entrepreneurs that are willing to disrupt the status quo and bring in much needed change in the present system.
Through our Make Room India (& Group) and other initiatives that I am involved in, we strive to enable youth to be a part of the solution rather than idle spectators of problems, and I find a great synergy in your efforts vis-a-vis ours. In the weeks and months to come, I look forward to explore to co-create social innovation ecosystem keeping Sahyardi at the centre”.
