Looking back on the organisation’s beginnings, co-founder and president Manisha Bhatia reflected, “When I look back 16 years, I do not see an organisation being formed but rather a seed of belief being planted. Children who once wandered the streets, begging to survive, are now sitting in classrooms. What was once only a dream has become a reality. Today, I feel immense pride, but above all, a sense of purpose in turning programmes into possibilities which put forth hundreds of stories into the light.”

The evening featured a short film chronicling Abhinandan’s inspiring journey over the years. Adding a creative flourish, children staged a play carrying a message on the importance of saving the environment, drawing warm applause from the audience.
