This year’s Teacher's Day at Sarvam Foundation was filled with warmth, gratitude, and heartfelt celebrations. The Shaktis, our young girls took the stage to honor not only their teachers but the woman whose vision has transformed their lives—Nehha Bhatnagar, the Founder and Hemangi Bhatnagar, CEO of Sarvam Foundation.
The Heart Behind Sarvam: Hemangi Bhatnagar
Hemangi Bhatnagar has always been the guiding force behind Sarvam, empowering girls from marginalized communities to rise above their circumstances. Through Shakti programs, she’s helped these girls find their voices, build confidence, and grow holistically. This Teacher’s Day, the Shaktis wanted to show their gratitude for the endless support, love, and opportunities she has provided.
A Day of Gratitude
The celebrations kicked off with a beautiful dance performance. The Shaktis performed classical dances like Kathak and Bharatanatyam, filling the room with their graceful movements. Every step, every turn was a way of saying thank you to Hemangi Bhatnagar and Nehha Bhatnagar, acknowledging the role they played in shaping their futures.
Following the dance, the girls sang a heartfelt song for Hemangi Bhatnagar. Their voices echoed with emotion as they thanked her for being their constant guide. It was a touching moment, full of love and admiration, not just for her but for the teachers and mentors who have supported them along the way.
Shakti Speak: Voices of Confidence
A highlight of the day was hearing the girls speak. Thanks to the Shakti Speak program, many of them have developed the confidence to share their stories and experiences in front of an audience. One after another, they spoke about how Sarvam had changed their lives, and how Hemangi ma’am’s encouragement had helped them believe in themselves.
One of the shaktis shared how she used to be shy, barely able to speak in public, but through Sarvam and the Shakti Speak program, she now feels empowered to stand up and speak confidently. Another Shakti shared how Hemangi ma’am’s constant belief in her helped her overcome her fears and find her inner strength.
A Moment of Reflection
This Teacher’s Day wasn’t just a celebration—it was also a moment of reflection. The Shaktis took the time to acknowledge how far they’ve come. From learning English and computer skills to mastering classical dance and yoga, they’ve grown in ways they never imagined. The day served as a powerful reminder of how much support, encouragement, and education can transform lives.
More Than a Celebration
Teacher’s Day at Sarvam wasn’t just about celebrating teachers. It was about celebrating growth, empowerment, and the journey these girls have been on. The Shaktis’ performances and speeches were a reflection of the opportunities they’ve been given and the strength they’ve gained under Hemangi Bhatnagar’s guidance.
This day was a reminder of the transformative power of education, love, and mentorship—and the incredible things that can happen when someone believes in you.
