26–12–2023: We at Project Bodhan in partnership with the AK Foundation, signed an MOU and launched the training certification program (TTT) for POSH, POCSO, and ventilation at Pink Lotus, T.Nagar, Chennai.
Importantly, toward the end of the interaction, we united to support the ongoing campaign by @unwomenindia the #16DaysOfActivism aimed at combating gender-based violence. In doing so, we collectively set a example at the institutional-level for championing gender equality.
A pivotal aspect of the interaction centered on gender sensitization and the corresponding #sdg5 - Gender Equality. The conversations aligned seamlessly with the college’s commitment to contributing to the sustainable development goals.

As always, @SairamInstitute has proved to be a space for meaningful interaction rather than a mere session. Today’s POSH workshop with the students was especially vibrant, encouraging students to reflect on their life journeys thus far.

The conference would not have been possible without the support of our dedicated speakers, who generously shared their knowledge and time to educate and empower the youth.
Furthermore, the launch of the 24/7 POSH helpline by Dr. Geetha Masilamani, Founder of AK Foundation and Project Bodhan marked a groundbreaking initiative that will promise a lasting impact in the future.
The inaugural event commenced with our dignitaries, Smt. Meera Sundararajan, GCC, Shri. @KanishkArora11 and Shri. V. Seenivasakan, Chennai Port.
Their invaluable insights illuminated the realities of our society and inspired everyone present to become advocates for change.
“Knowledge becomes truly impactful when put into practical action, and the Abhimaan Conference 2023 exemplified this principle.”
Spanning three enlightening days, the conference focused on the topics of POSH, POCSO, and Psychology, with the goal of eliminating harassment.
As @BodhanProject approaches its 5th year in 2024, we continue this ritual of commemorating our milestones and emphasizing their tremendous importance to our widespread audiences.
Overall, this dialogue has served as a kickstart for networking and camaraderie, effectively uniting the representatives within the forum. This discussion was elaborately connected to Madras Week, blenigng cultural heritage with contemporary discourse.
The discussions dived into the ecosystem of sustainability, shedding light on the critical need of localized solutions. Actionable initiatives were proposed in order to transmit the importance of sustainability to the younger generation.
Sustainability Dialogues facilitated dynamic conversations among diverse stakeholders, yielding profound insights that advanced our understanding of sustainability across various dimensions and the importance of embracing it in a holistic and inclusive manner.
In my interview with the media, Raj News Tamil & News7 Tamil in the stakeholder discussion on sustainability dialogues, I spoke about the significance of collaboration and community building with respect to Chennai’s culture and history as we mark Madras Week 2023.
