Saksham originated because "कोणी विचारत नाही"

A year ago, I sat with a frontline worker in a small village in Maharashtra.
She had been working for her NGO for nearly four years. She knew every family in her cluster by name. She knew which household had a pregnant woman, which child had dropped out of school, and which family was in debt. She carried her organisation's mission more intimately than anyone sitting in the head office ever could.
I asked her — What do you need most?
I expected something similar, I heard in companies and from Individuals about a salary hike, a promotion. She didn't say either. And she didn't even say more resources.
She looked at me and said, quietly:
"कोणी विचारत नाही." Nobody asks.
Not that nobody gives them the things. Nobody asks.
Nobody asks how she is managing. Nobody asks what is hard. Nobody asks whether she feels capable of what is being asked of her. Nobody asks what she has learned, what she has noticed, what she thinks should change.
I must be clear here that she was not complaining. She was just stating a fact about her professional life. A fact that, I realised that day, was true for most frontline workers across the sector.
________________________________________
I have carried that conversation while I worked for individual and group transformation and productivity programs.
It shaped the way I think about organisational investment. About whose growth we fund and whose we don't. About the gap between what we say about frontline workers — "they are the backbone of our work" — and what we actually build for them.
सक्षम is, in many ways, what came as my answer to that conversation.
A structured 30-day program — not motivation, not generic soft skills — but a real, grounded, Marathi-language space where frontline NGO workers can build confidence, develop leadership habits, and, perhaps for the first time, be genuinely asked: what is hard for you, and what do you need?
________________________________________
The second Cohort just got completed.
Two participants — a field worker from Babare and a teacher from Shahapur, Thane — gave it a 10 out of 10. Both described specific behavioural changes. Both said the impact reached their home lives too.
One of them told us she will now tell every colleague to join. Because, she said: "प्रत्येक माणसामध्ये क्षमता आहे — ती समजून घ्यायची असेल तर हा कोर्स अवश्य करावा."
(Every person has capability. If you want to understand yours — do this program.)
________________________________________
The July 2026 cohort is now open.
If you lead an NGO, run field programs, or fund grassroots work in Maharashtra — I want you to know about it and enrol atleast one from in the this program.
Because somewhere in your team, there is a worker who is doing extraordinary things quietly.
And nobody is asking.

Long journey on the path of narrative psychology, while being a teacher, writer, journalist and coach - trainer, has put me on this new path.

Why Most Communication Training Fails — and What the LTN™ Framework Does Differently Published by Dr Ibrahim Afghan · Founder, Writemind Institute · 27th April 2026 Every organisation I have worked with in the last several years — across corporate boardrooms, leadership cohorts, NGOs, and executive teams — has had the same gap. It wasn’t a skill gap but a system gap.

21 days. One story. The one only you can tell.

Stuck in life? Find out where in 3 areas... And the solution too.

Unstuck yourself and Restart Getting stuck in life means on either a physical, mental or emotional level. Discover where you are stuck and find a solution to make your life right.

Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.
- George Bernard Shaw

Words are more than just letters on a page—they shape our thoughts, emotions, and the way we connect with the world. Writing brings structure to the chaos of the mind, just as geometry brings order to space. It reveals who we are, what we feel, and how we perceive life.

When you write with clarity and intention, you create more than just stories—you craft a reflection of your soul. But great writing isn’t just about inspiration; it’s about skill, practice, and refinement. ✍️

That’s where we come in! At Writemind Academy, we help you master the art of storytelling, refine your ideas, and turn your passion into powerful prose. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced writer, our courses will give you the tools to write with impact and confidence.
