This leaves them at risk of being left behind in a rapidly advancing world. CRY, through initiatives like this Walkathon, is working to bridge this gap by ensuring that every child, especially girls, has the chance to explore education in STEM and unlock a brighter tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The Walkathon drew enthusiastic participation from <strong>more than 300 students of New Hor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>izon College of Engineering<\/strong>, making it a truly vibrant and spirited gathering.
