Gayatri Narsimhan | Guiding Light Caregiver Award | HashHackCode

Описание: Dr. Gayatri Narasimhan’s journey into inclusive education began with a simple but powerful belief, that every neurodivergent learner deserves dignity, opportunity, and the chance to build an independent life. Trained as a software engineer but drawn toward education through purpose and conviction, she transformed her career path to serve families across India. Witnessing the gap between mainstream education and the real needs of neurodiverse children, she committed herself to creating learning pathways that honour each individual’s strengths, pace, and aspirations.

As the Founder of Prakramika Vocational Institute (PVI), Dr. Gayatri has built one of India’s most impactful vocational ecosystems for neurodivergent learners. Through more than 30 structured skill-based courses, long-term programmes, assessment tools, and free training modules, she has supported over 500 individuals in developing meaningful skills that lead to confidence and long-term independence. Her dedication extends beyond learners to the wider community, empowering more than 2,000 parents, teachers, and caregivers through free training sessions, and contributing innovative curricula, frameworks, and tools recognised at national and global forums, including the UN Civil Society Conference.

Her recognition with the Guiding Light Professional Award celebrates the heart of her work — compassion, vision, and a relentless belief in the potential of every learner. Dr. Gayatri’s leadership continues to bridge gaps, unlock possibilities, and shape a future where vocational education is not an exception but a rightful pathway for neurodivergent individuals across India.
