#ILightGlobal ; #inspiringcommunities I Light Global has a branch at Malibu Towne, Gurugram. It has become a benchmark of community project in nine months. It’s unique in ways more than one as (a) the community adopted it, (b) the community takes pride in its existence within its complex, (c) residents are putting in their efforts (i) emotionally, (ii) financially & (iii) physically. While some are paying stipend to Volunteer, a retired teacher is reliving her teaching dream post retirement by reconnecting with children. She is coming daily with devotion and dedication to match with it. Then another resident believes that non-formal-education, non-brick-mortar model of I Light Global is perfect for India. This model (which is the only migrant children oriented model in India) is also the only non-formal-education non-brick-mortar model. It’s the most effective and cost effective model. It fulfills the dream of society of turning vegabond children into an educated responsible citizen. An inspired resident has provided uniform to all children, two Shirts, two pants, two pair of socks and a pair of shoes. In nutshell, this has become a mini school imparting education to children who could never dream of getting admission in schools. The new uniform has bestowed uniformity. Children are only in win win situation.

Why Adolescents: Because adolescence is the threshold between childhood and adulthood, where physical, emotional, mental, cognitive and social development is shaped. Spatial environments: especially urban spatial environments deeply impact the trajectories of this development! And giving adolescents agency in shaping their environments has been found to be a symbiotic relationship: enriching not just the adolescents but also the urbanscape as a whole and everyone inhabiting it!

🌟 The Vital Role of Anganwadi Centres in India's Future 🌟 Anganwadi centres are the foundation of early childhood development in India. They play a crucial role in providing young children with a safe space to learn, play, and receive nutritious meals. These centres are not just about education; they are about shaping the future of our country by nurturing our youngest citizens. However, the infrastructure of many anganwadi centres remains inadequate. Shockingly, numerous centres operate without a dedicated building, often running from rented spaces or even the homes of anganwadi workers. This lack of proper infrastructure hampers their ability to fully serve the community's needs. Why is Infrastructure So Important? 🔹 Safe Environment: A dedicated, well-maintained building ensures a safe environment for children, free from potential hazards that might be present in makeshift setups. 🔹 Quality Education and Play: Proper classrooms and play areas enhance the learning experience, fostering cognitive and social development through structured activities. 🔹 Nutritional Support: Equipped kitchens and dining areas ensure that children receive healthy, hygienic meals, which are critical for their growth and development. 🔹 Community Engagement: A well-established centre can serve as a community hub, facilitating better engagement and involvement from parents and local stakeholders. The current situation is failing to realize the full potential of anganwadi centres. It is high time to  invest in better infrastructure to support these vital institutions. By doing so, we are investing in the future of our children and, ultimately, the future of India. It's time to build a stronger foundation for the next generation. 🏠✨ #EarlyChildhoodEducation #AnganwadiCentres #InfrastructureMatters #InvestInChildren #India'sFuture

Education in rural India links old ways of life with new ones. It helps young and old people learn from each other. Young people bring new ideas, while elders share traditional wisdom. This mix of old and new helps rural communities grow while keeping their culture alive. #WorkingForABetterTomorrow! #RuralEducation #TraditionAndModernity #GenerationalConnectivity #CulturalHeritage #CommunityDevelopment #EducationForAll #RuralEmpowerment #KnowledgeExchange #CulturalPreservation #CommunityProgress #YouthDevelopment #BridgingDivides

Being a part of organising this session was a privilege! And attending this session a learning. **3 takeaways** 1. Social and Political accountability for and to young people is non-existent globally, creating a lack of agency and thus contributing to #climateanxiety among the young. 2. Granularity in #data and #datarepresentation is missing. Especially so as we move from urban to rural, and then further drill down to gender, young people with disabilities etc. 3. Creating #communitiesofpractice who will not only help creating platforms where young people, policy makers and city administrators come together, but also amplify young voices in spaces where they are excluded becomes important. The future belongs to the #young and they need to have a say in how it is being shaped and designed! #ConnectKaro #Citiesforadolescents #urbanfutures
