Awards, felicitations and accomplishments, as they happen.
Vrinda Tiwari and the Arunarya initiative were felicitated by Shri Dharam Singh Saini ji, four-term MLA from Nakur and former Cabinet Minister of the AYUSH Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh — acknowledging Arunarya's work with Saharanpur's woodcraft artisans and its sensory tools for children with disabilities.
Athenia School, Saharanpur, honoured Arunarya through Principal Mrs. Leena Dua and Vice Principal Mrs. Deepshikha, in recognition of the initiative's work on neurodiversity awareness and zero-waste sensory craft made with local artisans.
Arunarya convened a Workshop on Neurodiversity featuring a talk by Dr. Rajiv Tiwari, Neurosurgeon, and a session by Arunarya's CEO Vrinda Tiwari — bringing clinicians, educators and artisans into one room around inclusive sensory design.
"The prizes are lovely. But the real award is a child whose fingers finally touch something made for them."
