Months of learning, devotion, and joy at Nyasa! ✨
From the start of the semester to our recent celebrations, it’s been a vibrant journey for the Nyasa kids. Here are some of our favorite glimpses from the past two months:
🌼Vasant Panchami: Back in January, our kids were delighted to join the IITGn student community for a soulful Vasant Panchami. It was a day of seeking blessings from Goddess Saraswati, student-led prayers, and heartfelt prasad distribution.
📚 Language & Care: More recently, for International Mother Language Day, the library team hosted an insightful session on why every language deserves our respect. This was followed by a meaningful discussion on hygiene and the importance of mutual care and respect for one another. 🤝
🤼‍♀️🤾Weekly Playtime: A constant highlight of our weeks! Whether in the Central Arcade or on the open sports grounds, these sessions are where the magic happens—learning new games, staying active, and enjoying quality time together.
From spiritual beginnings to playground victories, we’re so proud of how our kids continue to grow! 🌿🏃‍♂️

10 years of healing, hope, and community! ✨
On January 11, 2026, we successfully hosted the 10th edition of Sanjeevani, Nyasa’s flagship annual health camp, in Giyod village. With the support of 9 dedicated medical professionals, our volunteer team, and the vital cooperation of the Gram Sarpanch and local villagers, we were able to provide free checkups and essential medicines to 480+ attendees. 🩺💊

This collective success was made possible through our collaboration with the Desai Foundation Trust and the incredible support of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA), NEEV IITGN, and Brahmani Veg Solutions. 🤝

A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, and doctors who gave their precious time to this cause; it was an honor to recognize their contributions during our post-event felicitation ceremony. 🙏🩺

Here’s to many more years of building stronger, healthier communities through compassion and collective effort. 💙

Nyasa’s annual Winter Camp took place yesterday, December 24th, at our very own IIT Gandhinagar, and it was a blast! It kicked off with interactive learning sessions led by the Library Team, followed by an experimental painting collaboration with Art at IITGN.
Around 80 students from Palaj, Basan and Prantiga Govt schools created imaginative mystery characters using paints, then swapped canvases so others could interpret and outline them. 🎨
​To bring the magic full circle, we used Meta AI to animate the final results! 🤖✨
​Watching one student’s painting spark another’s inspiration and ultimately becoming a moving character, was truly incredible. A beautiful mix of traditional art and new tech! 🚀

Grateful for the chance to serve 111 people in Basan through our medical health camp.

This initiative under Social Changes Through Arts & Sports, in collaboration with the Social Action and Policy Lab, IITGN, reminded us that meaningful change grows quietly, one conversation, one check-up, one human being at a time.

Thank you, Basan, for welcoming us with trust and warmth. 🤍

A day of bright illumination and sweet celebration! 🪔✨
Nyasa celebrated Diwali with great festive spirit, marked by a traditional Lakshmi Pooja and the joyful distribution of sweets. All the Nyasa kids shone bright in their new clothes and were thrilled to receive a special traditional “Gullak” as a “Diwali Gift” distributed by our Faculty Advisor, Prof. Krista Khiangte. The celebration extended beyond the campus, as we also distributed sweets at the IITGN Construction Works Colonies, spreading festive joy to every corner. The event was a massive success, witnessing enthusiastic participation from the entire IITGN community and staff. It was truly a day filled with the bright illumination of diyas, the positivity of Diwali, and the sweetness of the sweets! ✨💫

🌸✨ Onam Celebrations at IIT Gandhinagar ✨🌸

The campus came alive with the vibrant spirit of Onam. As part of the celebrations, IIT Gandhinagar had the joy of hosting the children of Nyasa, an initiative that provides free education to underprivileged students.

The kids experienced the beauty of tradition, from the stunning pookalam 🌼 to the grand Onam Sadya served on banana leaves 🍲🍌. Their smiles and laughter filled the hall, reminding us that festivals are most meaningful when shared.

A heartfelt thank you to the Onam team for inviting Nyasa and making this celebration so special. 💛

Happy Onam! 🌿🌺

Nyasa celebrated this year’s Teachers’ day with gratitude and joy! Our volunteers who teach the kids started the day with soulful songs and prayers, followed by inspiring speeches from our school teacher, Falguni ma’am, and our Faculty In-Charge, Prof. Krista R Khiangte. The fun continued with group games that brought everyone together, and we celebrated our incredible Nyasa members, volunteers, and supporters with a special felicitation ceremony. We ended the day on a sweet note with a cake-cutting and a fun dance, celebrating all the guiding stars, be it volunteers, teachers, or team members of our Nyasa family!
