A team of students viz. Vedika J, Raj T, Anay G, Chimayee P, Chinmayi V, Priyal K, Arti P and Satyaj H and their mentor Ms Poonam G came up with the project named as YUGMA (meaning-unified collaboration). The project deals with 3 prong approaches to bring the children with special needs to the school to identify their talent and hone it, develop a multi-lingual app( App link- https://bit.ly/3rN61mK); to improve motor skills and learning; create a website to provide necessary information to parents (Website link- https://cienachallenge2021.wordpress.com)
They were supported by Departments of Sports, Computer, Music, Art and soft skill.
This success would provide impetus to our efforts to take more community-based initiatives and sensitize the students towards betterment of mankind. Such projects will teach students empathy and compassion.
