Author Interaction Inspires Young Changemakers | Grade 9

Grade 9 students at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad had the opportunity to engage in an insightful session with Ms. Nidhi Sharma, Senior Editor at The Economic Times and author of She, the Leader: Women in Indian Politics.

A prominent political journalist, Ms. Sharma shared powerful narratives of women leaders in Indian politics who overcame deep-rooted patriarchy, societal barriers, and inequality to create meaningful change. Through stories from her book, students gained valuable perspectives on resilience, courage, and leadership.

The interaction encouraged learners to reflect on the evolving role of women in leadership and inspired them to view determination, conviction, and perseverance as the true markers of leadership, beyond gender stereotypes.

The session fostered thoughtful discussions around equality, representation, and social change, making it a meaningful and enriching learning experience for students.
