The Purple House: Summary - Episode 8

During the 26th Annual 'Can Do' Workshop held by Ullas Trust, Arun Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of Intellect, shared a story about a young boy named Swami who explored various rooms in a purple-coloured house in his village. The event took place in Chennai on September 30, 2023, and was attended by more than 1,100 students from Class IX in government and corporation schools.

In the last episode of "The Purple House" series, Arun equates the rooms from the purple house to mind space. He encourages listeners to expand their mind space during adolescence, just as one can expand the rooms in the house. Arun emphasises the importance of learning or listening, observing, reading, and dialoguing to increase one's capacity for growth.

About Ullas Trust

Ullas Trust, (A Polaris Foundation Social Initiative) was started in 1997 with an aim to integrate the employees with a larger community and nurture a ‘Can Do’ spirit among the students. The Trust recognises and rewards academic excellence through annual scholarships. The primary motive of Ullas is to recognise academic excellence in students from economically-challenged sections of our society and encourage a ‘can do’ spirit, for them to chase their dreams and aspirations. Very early in its evolution, Ullas decided to focus its energy on students during the most vulnerable stage in their journey – adolescence! This would translate into students from Class (Grade) 9th to 12th.

With these two-pronged criteria, Ullas selects students from Municipal, Corporation, and Government schools every year through an entrance examination and a well-defined selection process. We call such students Young Achievers.
