The Times of India Newspaper in Education (NIE) program is an initiative aimed at fostering educational growth and development among students. It integrates the use of newspapers as a teaching tool in the classroom, encouraging students to engage with current events and develop a broader understanding of the world. By providing educational content, activities, and resources, the Times of India NIE promotes critical thinking, reading skills, and a deeper awareness of societal issues, helping students become informed and responsible citizens.

I wrote an article for the Times of India NIE about the importance of community service, drawing from my personal experiences working with the Kotak Education Foundation. In the article, I emphasized how community service fosters empathy, responsibility, and a sense of belonging. My work with the Kotak Education Foundation involved teaching underprivileged children and participating in various educational initiatives. These experiences have significantly contributed to my personal growth, teaching me the value of giving back and the impact one can have on others’ lives. Through writing this article, I shared how community service has helped me develop stronger leadership skills, a greater sense of compassion, and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by different communities.
