Government First Grade College, Haleangadi, Welcomes SAARTI Mentorship Initiative
Every meaningful journey begins with a single step, and SAARTI – Mentorship for Your Life’s Journey – You Don’t Have to Walk Alone – began its campus journey at Government First Grade College, Haleangadi, with an inspiring two-hour programme titled “Communication Matters!” Fifty students from the B.Com and M.Com streams participated in this experiential, activity-based session facilitated by Dr. KKusum, founder of SAARTI.
Moving beyond conventional lectures, the programme encouraged students to explore communication through activities and experiences. The focus was on recognising that communication is not merely about speaking, but also about listening, understanding, expressing oneself, building confidence and developing meaningful relationships. In today’s world, where academic qualifications alone are not enough, effective communication is an essential life skill that shapes both personal and professional success.
With 35 years of experience in the education sector, including leadership, teacher training, counselling, therapy and de-addiction counselling, Dr. KKusum envisioned SAARTI as a mentorship initiative that reaches beyond academics. Its mission is to help students find their purpose, build confidence and character, navigate life choices, understand relationships and values, develop the courage to begin and find support through every step of their journey.
The session at Haleangadi marks the beginning of this larger vision of bringing meaningful mentorship experiences to college campuses. SAARTI believes that educational institutions must nurture not just employable graduates, but confident individuals equipped to face life’s challenges with clarity, courage and compassion. SAARTI now invites colleges and educational institutions to become part of this journey through interactive, experiential and mentorship-based student sessions. The introductory session is offered without any fee.
Because every student has a journey. Every journey has questions. And no young person should feel they have to walk alone. SAARTI – Mentorship for Your Life’s Journey. You Don’t Have to Walk Alone.
