IIMPACT

From 1–3 May, the IIMPACT team came together in Gurgaon for our Annual Review Meeting—three days of reflection, learning, and planning for the year ahead. With colleagues joining from across locations, it was a powerful reminder of our shared commitment to strengthening girls’ education.

We were privileged to have our Board deeply engaged in the discussions. On Day 1, Board Members Mr. Bhaskar Bhat and Mr. Amal Jajodia joined us virtually, sharing their perspectives on our achievements and challenges. Their words of motivation and encouragement set a strong tone for the year ahead, inspiring the team to aim higher and deepen our impact.

A key highlight was an insightful session led by our Founder, Board Member, and Mentor, Mr. Anil Tandon,who emphasized a critical shift—from literacy to true learning. He spoke about the importance of building strong foundations so that our students don’t just read and write, but think, question, and apply their knowledge with confidence.Drawing parallels with national and global assessments like ASER, NAS, and international benchmarks, he challenged us to reflect on where we stand and where we need to go. Through sample questions, he demonstrated how real learning goes beyond rote—it requires reasoning, curiosity, and application.The takeaway was clear: to truly empower our students, we must continuously strengthen both teaching practices and learning experiences, ensuring education sparks thinking, not just memorization.

We are deeply grateful for the active involvement of our Board, whose guidance continues to shape IIMPACT’s vision and impact.
