Women’s Delight

A live laughter therapy tent was set up where women were enlightened about the significance of Women’s Day and the importance of SDGs. This session, emphasizing Sai Ram’s commitment to promoting sustainable development, left the participants in high spirits.

SDG Demonstrations

Visitors explored each station where students provided detailed explanations of the SDG goals. Enthusiastic participation in interactive games further enriched the experience.
