Over 300 participants \u2014 including 70 curious young minds from schools across Coimbatore \u2014 gathered for the screening of <em>My Otter Diary<\/em>, a documentary that follows the intimate journey of otter life in India&#8217;s waterways. In collaboration with Zooreach Organisation, the event was more than a film screening; it became a gathering of kindred spirits united by a shared attentiveness to the natural world. The post-screening conversation with <strong>Director Sugandhi Gadadhar and Rana Belur<\/strong> brought depth and warmth to the evening \u2014 thoughtful, reflective, and genuinely interactive. Participants moved from observers to participants in a live conservation dialogue, asking questions, sharing observations, and connecting the stories on screen to their own surroundings. The event reinforced Kumaraguru&#8217;s commitment to environmental education beyond the classroom, using culture, cinema, and community as pathways to ecological stewardship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Key Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Screening of <em>My Otter Diary<\/em> for 300+ participants including 70 school students from Coimbatore<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Live post-screening dialogue with Director Sugandhi Gadadhar and wildlife advocate Rana Belur<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Community-centred conservation engagement bridging students, faculty, and the wider public<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Partnership with Zooreach Organisation deepening institutional links with wildlife conservation networks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Focus Areas<\/strong> Wildlife Conservation | Environmental Storytelling | Community Engagement | Wetland Stewardship<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The My Otter Diary screening, in collaboration with Zooreach Organisation, offered a rare window into the world of otter conservation through documentary film and live dialogue.
