Cinema. Compassion. Change.

VidyaGyan brought these powerful ideas to life at a special evening hosted at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, USA in collaboration with @iccgreenwich

The spotlight shone on celebrated filmmaker Mira Nair ( @pagliji ) in a thought-provoking conversation ...with critic Sucharita ( @su4ita )exploring how cinema with its storytelling acts as a catalyst for change and inspire action.

Joining us were educators, philanthropists, industrialists, and global citizens, all united by a common cause: building a more equitable world through the power of education.

At the heart of the evening was VidyaGyan’s mission—to transform the lives of exceptional students from rural India into future leaders. Mira Nair’s fearless storytelling and commitment to social change resonated deeply with VidyaGyan’s journey of nurturing talent, voice, and vision from the grassroots.

The inspiring evening made our compassionate guests come forward to be part of VidyaGyan , where cinema is made a reality.

Together, we continue to script stories of hope and possibility.

Before the lab coats and research grants, there’s a question asked in a classroom. A raised hand. A curious spark, this is where real innovation begins.

Conformity is often rewarded in schools, but what if we choose curiosity? We celebrate every “why?” and “what if?” — because ...that will be how every innovator, problem-solver, and future leader is born.

Science isn’t just a subject. It’s a way of thinking.
