Today, we are at Abalashrama, an institution which has transformed lives of thousands of economically weaker families by offering support, a safe place to grow for young girls.  I have seen Abalashrama from the very young. It was a small bungalow on DVG Road. Today, the place also has transformed with a shopping complex which helps the institute with economic sustenance.

It is an honour to be at this place for a workshop on social media.

I stand here humbled by the tenacity of this institute which has withstood decades of dramatic changes in society yet continuing its work. Pranav's to the pioneer, founders and the people behind this great institution.
