Through the course of the Programme, Vedica Scholars have displayed confidence, resilience and a commitment to their personal and professional growth. This is what sets a Vedica Scholar apart from her peers - the aspiration to reach her fullest potential. The Convocation Ceremony for the Founding Class was presided over by Ms. Nandita Das, noted actor, filmmaker and social worker. Every graduating Scholar gave a valedictory speech and spoke of their personal growth trajectories and the many ways in which the Programme has helped them.
