The voices of India’s youth deserve to be heard with patience. A breakdown in communication serves no one and is deeply unfortunate. Very sorry to see the current state of affairs.
With support from BNY and the Indian Army,and implementation by IAHV, five schools have been strengthened through classroom renovations, Mid-Day Meal kitchens, and improved sanitation facilities. Today, students have safer, healthier, and more supportive spaces to learn and grow
In the remote border region of Uri, Baramulla, government schools serve as a lifeline for children from surrounding villages. Yet inadequate infrastructure often makes learning more challenging.

At Malenadu High School in Karnataka, heavy rainfall and difficult terrain made conventional toilet construction challenging. IAHV, supported by @BlueYonder India, responded with a gen-next portable model — enabling faster deployment and safer sanitation access for students.
1,400 residents of Chilthan village, Raigad, Maharashtra, had no natural water sources during summers. IAHV has desilted a 1,190-meter stretch of the village stream — restoring its capacity to hold water, recharging six nearby wells, and ensuring year-round water availability.

Trees do more than provide oxygen.
They improve soil, retain water, and support ecosystems.

When a computer tracks the Indian classical dancer in this video, it picks up perfect circles, triangles, and curves in every movement. There are exactly 108 of them. All 108 were written into a manual over 2,000 years ago.
That manual is the Natya Shastra. Six thousand verses, written somewhere around 200 BCE. It describes 108 specific dance movements for Bharatanatyam, one of the oldest dance forms in India. Each movement spells out three things: where your hands go, what angle your body holds, and the exact path your legs trace. Roughly 150 step combinations grow out of those 108 base movements. A trained dancer spends years learning 70 to 80 of them.
Watch the dancer's legs in the video. The bent-knee squat creates a diamond shape. Palms together make a triangle. When researchers plotted these positions in three dimensions this year, they found the moving body carves out twisted spirals and bowl-shaped curves, the kind of shapes you see in an engineering textbook, not a dance studio. Every limb holds a specific angle and moves a measured distance.
The rhythm is math too. A 7-beat song gets filled with dance steps of 3 and 4. Scale that to 35 beats and the groups of 3 and 4 repeat five times. Choreographers work out these splits in their heads while performing live. All 108 movements are also carved into the stone walls of a 12th-century temple in Tamil Nadu called Chidambaram, many panels still carrying the original Sanskrit description next to them. A choreography textbook in granite, still legible after 900 years.
A 2013 study put 25 people on a walkway rigged with motion-capture cameras. Every human stride has two parts: when your foot is on the ground and when it swings forward. The ratio between those two parts came out to 1.620. The golden ratio is 1.618. Your foot lifts off at 61.8% of every step you take, and it has done this your entire life. A Bharatanatyam dancer takes that same built-in proportion and amplifies it across 108 movements, each one tracing shapes that were set down in writing over 2,000 years before the tracking software in this video existed.
Trees play an important role in regulating local climate.
By releasing moisture and improving soil conditions, they support rainfall patterns and water retention.
