The esteemed Principal, Sister Pushpa Michael, inaugurated the exhibition early in the morning, setting the stage for a day of profound learning and engagement. A captivating video screening served as a powerful introduction, vividly illustrating the significance of sustainable goals and the transformative potential of ‘sustainable human behaviour’.

Twenty-one exceptional young women from the college then took center stage, delivering thoroughly researched presentations on the SOHA panels and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Attendees, representing thirteen schools and two colleges, were treated to detailed explanations, which they heard with rapt attention.

The exhibition, thoughtfully situated amidst the college’s verdant open campus, provided a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. As they studied the material that was provided, the guests, drawing on the symbolism of an open and green space, had a sense of oneness with nature. The event ignited a spark of enthusiasm amongst the visiting teachers and students, who actively participated in discussions and also took notes of the explanations for future reference.

With an attendance of nearly 250 individuals, and volunteers who diligently participated in no less than four training sessions on the SDGs and the exhibition, this day will always stand as a testament to the college’s deep commitment to fostering socially responsible global citizens.
