Fostering a Culture of Equality and Empathy: The SAMANTA Initiative
The SAMANTA initiative, sparked by the tragic Nirbhaya case, aims to instill values of social and emotional learning from an early age. Led by Mrs. Manjushree Patil, the initiative kicked off with engaging activities and a poignant reflection on gender equality through excerpts from the film “India’s Daughter.” The movement emphasizes the importance of treating everyone with respect and compassion, challenging gender stereotypes and promoting a safe, equal world for all.
