Being part of the first-ever Learning & Development convening (A moment in history!) for the impact sector was a powerful reminder of what happens when belief meets courage. It takes both to believe in something and to take the leap to create something radical. Whenever we hear of L & D, it is usually combined with a broader umbrella such as HR or some other vertical but this was one of a kind, it was specific with the target audience in mind. In this space which was meant for the ‘enablers’, people felt seen, valued, and connected—a tribe where sharing what we do and why it matters came naturally. There was so much to offer and receive. In the social sector, collaboration brings us closer to our shared purpose, and this group has the potential to be a catalyst for that.  4th Wheel Social Impact in collaboration with ATE Chandra foundation created this impact report - Impact Assessment of L & D programs in India which was shared and discussed during the gathering and brought back the importance of continuously having a ‘systems lens’ as that was rated the least in the study.  I am looking forward to building something together and solving issues of poverty together, one intervention at a time. Thank you A.T.E. Chandra Foundation for getting us together!

Congratulations to NAMAN PRIYESH LAKRA, Deputy Commissioner, District, Jharkhand, for winning the The Indian Express #ExcellenceinGovernance Award 2024 and for this wonderful showcase of the impact that #RejuvenationofWaterbodies can have on farmer lives! An excerpt that really strikes a chord for us! “Drought was very common here,” says Jageshwar Rana, a 68-year-old farmer from the village whose family lives metres from the reservoir. “However, since the new reservoir was built, we now have a reliable water source year-round. It sustains the village year-round. Even during the summer, the water level never drops below six feet.” https://lnkd.in/gSgq7mxi

What a joy it was to see the work done by our partner Paani Foundation at the #FarmerCup2025! Their ability to successfully work with 4,000 farmer groups to launch a Maharashtra wide movement has helped boost agricultural income in the state! We hope to extend our partnership beyond existing projects to see how we could support this ambitious movement to build a replicable model. A big highlight for us—the rise of all-women collectives from 43 in 2022 to 1,100 in 2024! Many emerged as winners across talukas. Seeing women step out, take leadership roles, and create safe, supportive spaces for each other in agriculture is inspiring. It’s a testament to how empowering women can lead to social and economic transformation in rural communities.
