| 10:30am – 11:00 am | Motivation, setting vision and elevate your aspiration Speaker- Dr Anupama Saxena, Principal Gargi School Champions Chat – Inspiring Stories from the award-winning achievers Session Brief: Children residing in Child Care Institutions often carry the weight of traumatic pasts, leading them to believe that a disadvantaged future is inevitable. The absence of guidance and support has unfortunately dampened their enthusiasm to overcome their challenging circumstances. It is crucial to provide these children with urgent motivation to help them recognize their equal rights to rise above adversity and thrive. Therefore, Ms. Anupama Saxena will help children reshape their perspectives and foster a belief in their potential for a brighter future through motivational speech, success stories and through other means that can help children get motivated towards their education and career paths. Session Objective: * Building resilience- To rise above their situations and life adversities. * Empowerment: Instilling in them that a challenging past does not define their futures. * Positive role modeling: Encouraging the children through personal experiences of success stories. * Self-discovery: Help children identify their unique talents, interests and strengths and believe in their capabilities. |

| Session 2 | Career Guidance through the experiences of the field experts themselves |
| 11:15 AM – 12:00 NOON | Session Brief: Due to confinement of the closed walls, children often stick to familiar courses due to a lack of knowledge about various options. This limits their chances of excelling, especially when faced with tough competition and diminishing interest. As a result, they may feel destined for a disadvantaged path. It’s important to widen their horizons by introducing them to a variety of courses. This way, they can make informed choices and pursue what genuinely interests them.
