Some time back, we (Pinakee Sharma) did a series with students / professionals from Assam who has come to the UK on prestigious scholarships for their Masters / PhD. We had named it 'When Dreams Get Wings / Sapno Ke Pankh / Xopunor Deuka'. The series was aired in a leading Television Channel Pratidin Time and garnered rave reviews. Each story showcased the struggles the students faced in their journeys, how difficulties couldn't deter them in reaching their goals and how they were persistent, tenacious and determined to achieve what they did. Each story is an abundance of inspiration. Today, I am very excited to share this piece of news with you all. Exactly a month back on 29th Aug, we formally handed over the content of 'When Dreams Get Wings' to the Education Ministry, Govt. of Assam. They will show the inspiring stories of this series to the students of rural Assam through the project : Samagra Shiksha (Education for All). This is a Govt. of India endeavour that has been implemented in a few states across the country. A central Hub at Guwahati, Assam is connected with 3000+ schools through satellite (and the number is increasing every week) and everyday 5 hrs of online classes are held, 1 hr each for students of Class 6 to 10. The stories of 'When Dreams Get Wings' will primarily be shown to the senior class students on Saturdays as a special programme and this gives us hope that these stories that we have covered will open up the world for the rural kids and help them to dream beyond. Those of you who are aware of this venture, thank you for your support. We are truly honoured. This has now become a part of our Personal Social Responsibility. We continue doing this series with students from Assam as well from rest of India and you may like to follow them through the links shared below. And yes, we will be highly obliged if you can connect us with any other state in India who has implemented 'Samagra Shiksha'. https://lnkd.in/eD2qpAZQ https://lnkd.in/ej_7q8Dv #whendreamsgetwings #sapnokepankh #samagrashiksha #personalsocialresponsibility #pratidintime #timesofindia

THE WORLD AS I SEE IT    A few days back, I stumbled upon my accounting notes from class 11. ☺️   As I glanced through the accounting principles, I vividly recalled our professor explaining the ‘Going Concern’ concept. The Going Concern concept assumes a business will continue to operate indefinitely, allowing it to invest and plan for the future.    To continue with what our Professor was sharing around this concept, “Domino's is confident that you pizza freaks won’t turn into health freaks and thus is opening multiple new outlets in Nagpur,” he jovially explained. 😆   I reflected as he shared this; Domino's seemed to be confident of future success and were viewing their investments with a long-term lens. It made me think, can we as humans, also look at life with this lens? Can we also reflect on our journeys around this interesting concept.   While I think, this principle is true for accounting, I wish I could apply it to my life too and the myriad choices I face every single day. Often, I get caught up in comparisons, fears, self-limited beliefs and confusion. I wish I could look at life in the long run, learn to be kinder to myself given the path I have travelled, prioritize learning and be open to varied experiences over ticking off societal checkboxes in the short run.   And as I write this, I also feel viewing life from a long-term perspective helps us enjoy the journey, be relaxed, cheerful, and optimistic with the faith that eventually, everything will fall into place exactly how & where its supposed to be. 😇   What do you think?   Do you think long-term?   #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility #PersonalExperience #Childhood    Alt text: An image of me standing in front of a bicycle.

Last week, a feature story about me and our work at Eklavya India Foundation was published in a Hindi newspaper, but unfortunately, I couldn't access it directly. Fortunately, my friend from Bihar posted this article at my address. While there are a few factual errors, the essence of the story is accurate, and I truly appreciate it. Sharing it here, your comments are welcome on this :) #EducationMatters #FirstGenerationCollegeStudent

Doleshwar Dham : why we should ask questions? Marwar junction 8th August, 23 12.30 PM A big meeting was organised here for motivating people to join a congregation at Jodhpur. Chief guests were : young Pradhan Mangla Ram ji, promotor of sudarshan school and my old friend Chhogaramji, Javanaram ji from Anji ki dhani, social leader Mandrup ji, young businessmen Jamaramji, ex Sarpanch of Sanchodi Peeraram ji, Daya ram ji, Labhu ram ji, Jodharam ji, Harjiram ji and my young and dynamic Lokesh ( Lakha). During my address I told them that .. We should ask the question ! 1. There is serious problem of dropouts from schools in Marwar that’s why … 2. Girl education is very low, there are hardly any graduate girl that’s why … 3. Due to lack of industry, there is negligible employment opportunities and youths are migrating to other cities and states that’s why… 4. Total negligence towards problems of camel and sheep herders that’s why .. 5. Negligible participation of women in administration and employment that’s why…. Questions will bring the responsibility and transparency. When a child weeps, mother understands that my child is hungry. No one will give anything unless you demands. Questions are mother of solutions.

One more student crushed herself to death yesterday. As an educator in kota Rajasthan and jee faculty this news is deeply painful. I beleive there is a mix of mistakes from all of us who have failed our future generations. 1. Our culture for failure and sucess which ultimately sees the one who could not succeed as a loser. As a society we are immature in these aspects. Neither we have the attitude to digest failure in a holistic way. The same carries forward when someone wants to do a love marriage, career choice or personal opinion. 2. Everyone's life is different for someone it is like waking up in morning is a struggle for someone just like this student, who's father was a guard in a private bank whole situation was different.. 3. Societal stigma and parental aspirations have crushed the young buds before growth. 4. The last and foremost where we all headed to....no jobs in core fields of engineering, advent of layoffs, no jobs for kids up to their education level and global protectionism creating hurdles to the very development of young minds. family, society, personal goals, money and success has a miles to go. We all together shall extend our hands to help the generations ahead. Even we are not able to help them monetarily we can absolutely suggest them morally and intellectually.

Mangalam Subha Mangalm. Naveen Kumar Great to know about such Truthful Stories from Eminent Scholars, Civil Service Journey Inspirited to Future Generation, even we lived with Great IAS officers, even we are teacher to them in certain period at time, we saw their hard work, pain, challenges and many in their life travel but once they take a Charge of Civil Service IAS Officer again Big Challenges starting.......even after retired also......Why? To Became a IAS, To Sit in IAS Officer, After IAS Officer some thing beyond, Challenges, Challenge, Challenge...Why? Very Simple. In Bharat still today nearly 543 MP, 4300 MLA mixer of Zero Education & Average Education, nearly 60% coming from own Families. They are all selected by People Votes through Psychology, Emotions, Money Traps just 20 days of Elections then sit 5 Years to Rule their own states, country but Great Eminent Scholars of IAS officers working under them because of Indian Constitution designed & decided by Colonial Mind Settings. Nearly 80% of IAS, IPS, IFS.....Officers Suffering lot, lot due to this Colonial Mind Settings between Rulers(543+4300) Vs IAS, IPA, IFS......When both can Live with Harmony, Happiness, Peace in daily Life? Your Happiness, Peace Reflect to 145 Crores of People of Bharat (Yatha Raja, Thatha Prajha) Think deeper. God Bless ALL.

How do children understand privilege? I was travelling with my friend to another city. As we boarded the train, we found that someone else is sitting on one of our seats (Side Lower). The lady told us that they're travelling with an extra member, and if one of us could take their Upper seat just for the night time, that would be great, because the Side Lower seat has enough space for someone to sit comfortably while the other one sleeps or with slight adjustment the two could sleep together. Upper seat is cramped for headspace and you can't sit there. I agreed even though my friend had almost refused their request. Later I had this discussion with her why was she refusing? Her argument was that people should make their arrangements before they decide to travel, and not disturb other passengers. Even though we had a good long discussion about it but my highly educated friend found it extraordinarily difficult to understand the social realities of other people. But how will she? or how will anyone? She has never seen the struggles that many people have to go through owing to their different socio-economic background. She never had to request someone else to share a small part of her seat. I told her that once my friends and I (5 of us - three girls and two boys) had to travel from Jaipur to Guwahati (long long journey) and we had just one seat. Three girls adjusted on that one seat and we two boys had to roam here and there for two days in the train on the mercy of some fellow passengers till we reached our destination. Now, this is not limited to my friend, but anyone who has not seen the struggle of fellow humans will find it hard to acknowledge their own privilege. We don't know the privileged lives we live unless we go out there and be vulnerable to the difficulties of life itself. Our schools should be home to that diversity of children - otherwise, how do we expect a well educated individual to understand that social realities of different people? Public education systems are exactly those places - a good public school or public university is necessary for myriad reasons but also for children to see the diversity of human condition and not just learn empathy in classroom activities but to experience it and embrace it! #education #privilege #diversity #learning #public #school #priyankeducator

😞From getting rental rejections to being invited on radio🌸 📻🎙️📻🎙️ The transaction from being a doctor to a devoted mother and then after a huge break in career, starting again in different field, wasn't easy. As I reflect on this journey, learning different life skills, getting ICF Certification, ACC life coach certification, emotional intelligence certification and many more, were milestones that brought me to my calling of helping poeple as $ex and Intimacy Coach.💑🎓 Post-COVID, when many of us grappled with the challenge of transitioning our businesses online and offline, it was comparatively easier for me to go online. Although, being from Nashik which is not a metro city, it was a huge challenge to introduce myself as a $ex coach and get my own place to practice, as noone wanted a board in their locality which said - Dr. Sabiha, "$ex and Intimacy Coach". 🚫🏢 From these initial difficulties to receiving a heartwarming invitation to appear on MyFM (104.2), Nashik's local radio channel, in celebration of World $exual Health Day, it fills me with immense pride. 📻🌍🎙️ Being able to share knowledge about $exual health and intimacy with my fellow Nashik residents, who welcomed me with open arms as a leading $ex Coach, is a moment that will forever hold a special place in my heart. 💖🙏 Listening to my own voice on the radio has been nothing short of a dream come true, and I couldn't wait to share this milestone with my incredible LinkedIn family. Creating change in a society with years of deep-rroted beliefs, fears, and guilt requires patience. Yet, I remain hopeful because times are indeed changing. 🌈🌟 Thank you all for your unwavering support! 🙌👏 #sexandintimacy #careertransition #lifecoaching #emotionalintelligence #onlinebusiness #Nashik #localbusiness #radioappearance #worldsexualhealthday #communitysupport #changeagent #dreamsfulfilled #LinkedInFamily #milestones #patiencepaysoff
