He supported over 5,000 students from the community, guiding them toward becoming engineers, IAS officers, and lawyers through education.

What people believe as a “traditional engagement in sex work”, Mishra calls “community-based sexual exploitation”.
“These children suffer the most, because they were being introduced to sex work from a young age traditionally and customarily, and their education level was abysmal.”

While Mishra was posted in Narsinghgarh of Rajgarh district he came to know about the Bedia community.

"When my friend booked an Uber for me on the last day, this lady came to pick me up. After the ride started, I noticed a kid sleeping in the front seat. I could not resist asking:
Ma'am, is that your daughter?

#Women #Empowerment #Motherrhood #Love #Inspiring Image
Yes, sir, my daughter and she is on vacation now; hence I am working and babysitting together.
I was curious, so I wanted to know more.

Her name is Nandini, and she drives a cab in Bangalore.
She wanted to be an entrepreneur and started a food truck a few years back with all her savings. But then covid hit, and she lost all the money she had invested. Post that, she started driving a cab. She works 12 hours a day & tells me she doesn’t mind working more if she has to.

“We needed to innovate and build a biodegradable device that could break the chain of mosquito breeding,” says Prasad Phadke.

@prasadphadke @EcoBioTraps

#innovation #sustainablestartup #biodegradable #dengue Image
@prasadphadke @EcoBioTraps Prasad and his team have developed the Eco BioTrap — a population reduction device for mosquitoes that ‘breaks the chain’ of their breeding and provides disease prevention from dengue, malaria, chikungunya, zika and other vector-borne diseases.
@prasadphadke @EcoBioTraps The way EBT works is that you add water to the device. The attractant then lures the female mosquito to breed in this container, and then, the killing ingredient (IGR) ensures that no adult emerges, thereby breaking the chain of reproduction.

When students of Vishwa Vidyapeeth school in #Bengaluru returned after the pandemic, they were welcomed by a lush #organicfarm, which slowly became an integral part of their curriculum, too -- all thanks to the unique idea of the school director, Suseela Santhosh.

#farming Image
Suseela saw an opportunity in the vacant campus when the school was closed for children, and an idea struck. Why not transform the school into an organic farm? “We already had a small farm set up, which we decided to expand. Many of our non-teaching staff were left with no work.
This way, they would be occupied, and we would have developed a bountiful farm,” she explains. Today the organic farm spreads across the campus. It occupies the vast kitchen terrace of the school, the backyard and the empty spaces between the buildings.
