Impact of our education programs

In backward area, even though there are government schools, they are deprived of basic amenities. Providing the basic facilities like building facilities, toilet facilities, cleanliness of playground, notebook, pencil, uniform, stich etc. were helpful for the learning of children.

While there was a scarcity of teachers, our organization provided the teachers & understood the level of children learning which will be helpful for the children to engage in learning.

As it is forest border(edge) village, malnutrition is found in children. To eliminate it among children we provide the nutritious food & powder of millets(cereals). It become very helpful to them.

From our organization medical checkup will be organized once in three months. If found unhealthy among children, treatment will be provided. Therefore it becomes helpful for children to involve in their learning.

Yoga & grains are helpful to make children’s mentality strong.

Extra curricular activities are helpful to recognize children’s talent.
