SOWING SEEDS FOR A TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT IN PUBLIC LEADERSHIP FOR GREATER GOOD
The pre-launch of SOUL on 12th Aug 2023 was graced by Hon. Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Education Minister, Govt of India and Hon. Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, Chief Minister, Gujarat amongst several other luminaries.
This confluence of esteemed and distinguished heads of leading from academic institutions of India represented a collective investment to create a benchmark in public leadership.
The event experience was consciously designed to be environmentally friendly and break through hierarchy biases, facilitating a free-flowing exchange of ideas in alignment with our intent and ethos.
The workshop was conducted at the Gujarat Vidhan Sabha auditorium on 02 February 2024 where more than 60 MLAs participated. The objective of this event was to empower the members of Gujarat legislative assembly with the required acumen needed to understand state budget so that they can influence budgetary decisions, fostering informed policy-making and enhancing their ability to advocate for impactful resource allocation within their constituencies.
