Episode #36: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Venus Upadhayaya, currently a reporter with the Epoch Times at New York. Venus reports on a wide range of issues. Her area of expertise is in Indian and South Asian geopolitics. She has reported from the very volatile India-Pakistan border and has contributed to mainstream print media in India for about a decade. Community media, sustainable development, and leadership remain her key areas of interest. She helped us give shape to Learning Forward India, she was one of the first few people who joined us for Brewing Knowledge, a little group for Coffee and Conversations in 2015. Together we built the Core-Values module for teachers and the heart tree for helping understand the role of the teacher in building the inner core of every child. She has travelled across the world, in her quest for knowledge and to build learning communities.
Learning Forward show brought to you by the Learning Forward India Foundation.
It’s all about helping teachers, educators, and students access the tools they need to embrace the joy of learning, including reading and critical thinking.

The plans we had made for doing a workshop on journalism or a session with teachers took a back seat when you unfolded the hidden fears or concerns of the children.
I can not thank you enough for giving students an ear and an eye of empathy which probably none of us could sense or feel for them. You have given me a way forward to help them deal with the mounting pressures of their parents and the community to perform…be successful in rendering to their expectations.
The interaction with the Editorial Board was an eye-opener and made me realise that the kids have arrived; they are super enthusiastic to give their own wings to the success and glory of the school. Your touch just made them flourish and they are geared to give new dimensions to the publications of the school.
Hearing your perspective helped me understand the missing relations with motivation and zeal in the younger workforce of the school. Your efforts saved our time and helped us learn more about the needs of the educationalists.
Anyone who got an opportunity to spend time with you longs to meet you soon and wishes to have continued relationship with your love and compassion.
“Thank you for taking out time for us, and we look forward to your next visit.”
