Walk The Summit Honored with the Prestigious PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry Junior Astitva Samman Award
We are thrilled to share that Walk The Summit (WTS) has been honored with the PHDCCI Junior Astitva Samman Award by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This prestigious recognition celebrates our commitment to transforming education in the rural Himalayas and empowering underprivileged students.
The award was presented by Lt. Gen. Vinod Khandare (Principal Advisor, Ministry of Defence) and Smt. Savitri Thakur (State Minister, Women & Child Development), marking a significant milestone in our journey. This achievement reinforces the impact of youth-led initiatives and motivates us to continue striving for meaningful change in underserved communities.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to PHDCCI for this honor and to everyone who has supported our mission. This award is not just a recognition but a reminder that every effort towards educational equity brings us closer to a brighter future for all.
Empowering Gaddi Tribe Students with 21st-Century Skills
Walk The Summit has been working closely with students from the Gaddi tribe in Dharamshala, a nomadic pastoralist community with limited access to modern education. Through this initiative, we have introduced 21st-century skills such as public speaking, leadership, critical thinking, and digital literacy, equipping students with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Impact of Our Work
Bridging the Digital Divide: Many students had never interacted with digital tools before. Our sessions helped them gain basic computer literacy, making technology a part of their learning journey.
Building Confidence & Leadership: Through public speaking and leadership exercises, students have learned to express themselves, take initiative, and engage in meaningful discussions.
Encouraging Independent Thinking: Our interactive sessions have helped students develop critical thinking skills, encouraging them to ask questions and seek creative solutions.
Fostering Self-Expression: By creating a safe space for students to voice their ideas, debate social issues, and share personal experiences, we have nurtured a sense of empowerment and self-belief.
Shaping a Future of Opportunity
For many Gaddi tribe children, learning was once confined to textbooks and traditional methods. By introducing new ways of thinking and engaging with the world, we are helping them develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate their futures with curiosity, resilience, and ambition.
Empowering Education at Himalayan International School
At Walk The Summit, we believe that education should be engaging, accessible, and future-ready. Our work at Himalayan International School near Kempty Falls, Mussoorie, reflects this commitment, bringing technology, resources, and essential skills to students who need them the most.
What We’ve Done
Smart Classrooms: We introduced interactive panels, turning traditional classrooms into dynamic learning spaces.
Digital Access: By providing WiFi connectivity, we’ve ensured students can explore online learning opportunities.
Essential Resources: From books and stationery to sports equipment, we’ve equipped students with tools for both academics and extracurriculars.
21st-Century Skills: Through leadership, public speaking, and critical thinking workshops, we’re preparing students for the future.
The Impact
With these interventions, students now have access to interactive learning, a more engaging curriculum, and skill-building opportunities that go beyond textbooks. Our goal is to create a lasting transformation in how education is experienced in remote Himalayan communities, ensuring that every child has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
