I’m incredibly humbled and proud to share that Kikli Foundation and I have been featured in Munjane Varthe, marking our first ever appearance in Kannada media. This moment is deeply special, not just because it recognizes my journey as a student and founder, but because it celebrates the spirit and impact of Kikli within the communities we serve.
When I started Kikli, the dream was simple yet powerful: to create equal learning opportunities for every child, no matter their background. Over time, that dream has evolved into a growing movement of education, empowerment, and empathy. Seeing our story told in Kannada, a language that connects deeply with so many families, teachers, and students across Karnataka, makes this recognition truly meaningful.
The article highlights Kikli’s journey and our ongoing efforts to promote digital literacy, skill-building, and access to education for children in government schools. It’s an acknowledgment of every classroom conversation, every training session, and every spark of curiosity that Kikli has helped ignite.
For me, this milestone is not just about being featured in the media. It’s about how far we’ve come as a community. It’s about the teachers who embraced change, the students who discovered new skills, and the volunteers and supporters who believed in the mission even before it was widely known.
As a student myself, balancing school and leadership has been a journey of learning and growth. Moments like this remind me why I began: to show that young people can lead meaningful change when given the chance and the right support.
I’m deeply grateful to the Munjane Varthe team for recognizing our work and giving Kikli this beautiful platform. It inspires us to keep expanding our impact, one school, one child, and one story at a time.
This milestone belongs to everyone who has walked alongside Kikli – mentors, partners, schools, and friends. Together, we’ll continue building bridges between learning, technology, and opportunity, making sure every child can dream, discover, and define their own future.
Here’s to many more stories that begin in classrooms and echo across languages. 💛
