It took almost three years but finally an expansive bibliography (of about 100 entries) on Indigenous childhoods in India is finally out! The bibliography is a great resource for anyone working in childhoods studies, Adivasi studies, sociology/anthropology in India, among others.

TISS alumnus has been working for the last eight years to democratise higher education for the backward communities of #India, has reached five lakh underprivileged youth till now, reports @vinivdvc trib.al/F5z6vw6

We had an insightful talk on the topic "Rethinking Ignored Folk Artists from Maharashtra: Stage Pedagogy, Challenges and Aspirations" delivered by Kalpana Sonawane, followed by an engaging discussion with the audience.

Last year Eknath missed the chance to attend @Harvard University due to bureaucratic delays with his scholarship. But his resilience and continued effort have paid off this year, as he makes it to the prestigious MPP program at #Harvard. This achievement is deeply moving, especially considering the setbacks of last year. Now, I am confident that, in the coming 1–2 years, @eklavya_india will see double-digit scholars from marginalised communities entering #IvyLeague institutions. We recognise that the journey ahead is still long, but milestones like this remind us why we persist.

@SASEIndia Thank you!
