Affiliations and Achievements:
One of my most meaningful achievements has been my growth within Aangan over the past six years, marked by two promotions that reflect the organization's trust in my capabilities. Each step forward has affirmed my commitment to child protection, consistent results, and deep-rooted engagement with the field.
In 2021, Aangan launched a project to establish toll-free warmlines across 900 slums and villages in six states, including Jharkhand—creating a safe, accessible space for underprivileged adolescents to share their concerns, anxieties, and grief. Out of 20–25 core team members, I was selected—alongside our Chief Operating Officer—to represent the project’s vision in a national print media interview. This selection, rooted in the leadership's belief in my ability to accurately and powerfully articulate our mission, remains a milestone moment in my journey.
More recently, I had the opportunity to weave a ground story of transformation and resilience for a storytelling competition. The narrative, rooted in field experiences from child harm hotspots, was honoured as the winning entry—an understated yet powerful recognition of the unseen shifts we collectively drive on the ground.
