Today's initiative aims to foster a shared understanding of the ASB Indian Studies program, focusing on innovative pilot ideas for enhancing student and parent involvement in India. We’ll discuss the desired framework for evaluating planned and spontaneous initiatives, addressing curriculum restructuring and service learning while ensuring alignment with our mission and core values. Engaging workshops, assemblies, and presentations led by insightful communicators will enrich our community. Join us in exploring challenges, opportunities for contribution, and potential strategies for success.
