In a landmark initiative to promote holistic education, cultural preservation, and ethical research, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed today between the Central Institute for Himalayan Cultural Studies (CIHCS), Dahung, Arunachal Pradesh, and the Flowering Dharma Centre Trust, Leh. The collaboration marks the establishment of the International Institute for Culture & Ethics Bomdila, an institution dedicated to advancing Social, Emotional, and Ethical (SEE) Learning and Classical Indian Wisdom inspired by the Nalanda Tradition.

As part of this partnership, the five-storey CIHCS building located in Bomdila was officially handed over to the International Institute for Culture & Ethics, Leh, to commence its academic and cultural programs in Arunachal Pradesh. The facility includes a computer room, offices, and training spaces, offering a fully equipped environment for research, training, and educational activities under the joint initiative.

Speaking on the occasion, Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Pema Khandu Ji congratulated the collaboration and lauded the efforts of both institutions and underlined the importance of SEE Learning, which was initiated under the guidance of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in collaboration with Emory University, USA. The Chief Minister emphasised that education today must go beyond academics to nurture compassion, resilience, and ethical awareness among students. He assured full support and cooperation from the state government for the successful implementation of SEE Learning and related initiatives in Arunachal Pradesh.

Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community has enabled a compassionate culture by integrating SEE Learning® in the following ways :
Reflection time for SEE Learning® every day for the first 30mins before beginning any academic learning.
SEE Learning® has been integrated with sports by using practices of attention training, mindfulness and awareness building.
Time outside for students are aligned with SEE Learning® practices and students get access to their resource kits, help now strategies or grounding.
Teachers in the school embody the practices and themselves use those practices which work for them when they are emotionally dysregulated. This helps students see the teachers as role models.

On the occasion of we came across an inspiring story of resilience where a 7th grade student radiated a profound sense of inner strength.

The day had started like any other until the news of a profound loss reached the student's family. The student, her mother, and the school team were present in the office to offer support to the family in the distressful time of the grandfather’s illness. The heaviness of the moment enveloped the room as the student's mother received the heartbreaking call about her father's passing.

Amidst the sorrow that washed over her mother, the student, with a wisdom beyond her years, quietly excused herself. She grew quiet in her space, and embraced the essence of grounding, centering her thoughts and emotions. With each mindful breath, she anchored herself in the present moment, drawing from the well of resilience within.

As she emerged from her moment of self-regulation, a newfound strength glimmered in her eyes. With unwavering composure, she approached her mother, offering a steady hand and a comforting presence.

Her actions spoke volumes, illustrating the transformative power of self-awareness and empathy, a true embodiment of SEE Learning® practices in action.

SEE Learning ® practices have helped students feel more empowered and gain the right vocabulary to express themselves. It has helped students develop a more compassionate and empathetic attitude towards one another. Values of self management and self awareness, communication, collaboration and compassion are very integral to Akanksha’s student vision and they are being transacted well to the students through the SEEL curriculum. This is helping them develop in a holistic way.

School leaders, teachers, counselors, social workers and non teaching staff are all aware of the SEE Learning® practices and strategies. The practices form an integral part of all of their meetings and training sessions. Every class has one educator that takes SEE Learning® to the children. The educators themselves engage in these practices during staff meetings and transitions to embody these concepts and practices before they take it to the students.
