Mr. Sandipan Saha, MMIC, Education, emphasized the initiative’s importance: “By leveraging this collaboration between ECHO India, CINI, and KMC, we aim to create a community of educators who can share best practices, learn collaboratively, and innovate within their schools. This partnership will significantly benefit the children of Kolkata by strengthening the teaching-learning process and fostering inclusivity.”

Speaking on behalf of CINI, Mr. Sujoy Roy, National Advocacy Officer, added: “CINI has always been committed to ensuring quality education, health, and nutrition for every child. Our collaboration with KMC and ECHO India aligns with our mission to build sustainable, child-centered development models.
