Stories from the Alumni Movement!

Manish’s fellowship journey brought him face-to-face with ethical challenges, especially when systemic issues like examination malpractice surfaced. In one instance, he was disheartened to see cheating practices being tolerated in schools. Manish made the difficult decision to stand by his principles, refusing to participate in the process and instead creating a safe space for his students to discuss integrity. His refusal to conform to the norm was challenging, but it allowed his students to witness the importance of authenticity and courage in action.

Manish’s impact extended beyond his classroom, reaching other teachers and students who admired his unyielding values. One student even protested against cheating by deliberately marking incorrect answers, inspired by Manish’s stand. His unwavering commitment demonstrated that real change often requires a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths, even when it comes at a personal cost. Manish remains an advocate for integrity and is determined to inspire future generations to uphold these values despite external pressures.
