Manisha was instrumental in establishing the counselling and SEN department and introduced structured, evidence-based wellbeing practices within the ABPS -Kumarpatnam. Her key initiatives included launching a scientific journalling curriculum, conducting parent orientation programs and creating the flagship Teen mentors' program to strengthen peer support and student leadership.

She did everything from scratch and established the culture along with infrastructure support. She also led child safety and child right workshops across both the schools. Beyond counselling, Manisha supported the Management team in sensitive domestic enquiry proceedings with professionalism, maturity and balanced judgement.

Her contribution to schools had a lasting impact in bringing desired culture w.r.t mental health and she brought empathy, clarity and strong institutional leadership to her work. I wish her all the very best for future endeavours.
