From classroom curiosity to national recognition! 🌱  Meet Pranjal Bhilare, a Grade 10 student from Modern School, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, whose spark of curiosity led to Agricare Comfort — a 100% biodegradable sanitary napkin made from banana pseudo-stem fiber. 🍃  What began during the Shell NXplorers program grew into a powerful idea that earned her a spot among the Top 21 finalists of the Social Impact Awards (SIA)! Through SIA’s incubation, she refined her prototype, built entrepreneurial skills, and learned to scale her innovation.  On 8th October, at the SIA 2025 Ceremony in Hyderabad, Telangana, Pranjal — the only school student among startups — pitched with confidence and purpose, showcasing her vision and creativity. 💡  👏 Kudos to Pranjal, her mentor Ms. Yogita Subedi, and SIA mentor CA. Mihir Shah on this inspiring milestone!  Grateful to Social Impact Awards, Impact Hub Hyderabad, and Shell NXplorers for empowering young changemakers to lead with purpose. 🌍✨  Impact Hub Hyderabad | Neha Chauhan | Deepak Joshi | Usha Bhaskar | Chandralekha C | Kiran sawant | Sai Ram P L | Ayana Byju | Amruta Shinde | Sumeet Mehta   #STEM #ShellIndia #Learninglinksfoundation #STEMeducation #ShellNXplorers #FutureLeaders #SocialImpactAward #ImpactHubHyderabad #InnovationForGood #Changemakers #SocialEntrepreneurship #SIA2025 #EducationMeetsLearning #UnlockLifelongLearning

Empowering Educators Through Innovation! Teachers shape how students meet the challenges of a fast-changing world. To support them, we conducted a one-day Teacher Training Program during the Buildathon by Atal Innovation Mission at Amrita Vidyashram, Kochi. It was part of Srishti 2025, a state-level innovation hackathon for school students across Kerala under the AIM initiative.
