A very novel act of making education omnipresent through the Right to Education (RTE) Act, marked a milestone in the Indian education scenario in 2010. It is deemed since then that education is free and compulsory for all children aged 6-14 years. However, many factors prevent this from actualising. There are many unsaid challenges in the educational field.
There are many children who do not gain any significant knowledge due to inadequate learning environments in schools. Moreover, the socioeconomic conditions of parents cause impediments to actual learning. Besides, unconducive households hack the ability to genuine educational progress of numerous children. Thus, for empowering underprivileged children, the call of the hour is firstly the empowerment of households. For them to be able to sustain their children’s involvement in education seeking. We aim to empower remote areas with proper education. This is crucial as they are often trapped in the vicious circle of deprivation and exclusion. Our team reaches them where they are and helps.
Along with it, it is a good initiative to educate households on the importance of the RTE and of the benefits of education altogether. After all, education is available everywhere. In the life experiences of people as much as from books. The need is to tap into children’s interest in knowledge and to promote awareness of learning systematically. We also realise the advent of the digital age has modified the structure of education to more dynamic and digital ones. And these kids lack the access to quality digital education facilities. Thus we aim to help them avail best digital education infrastructure and knowledge. After all, real empowerment is that which education imparts by supplying life skills and practical qualifications.
At Devrakshak Foundation, we realise that along with education, it is imperative to offer related facilities. By ensuring proper nutrition, positive mental attitude, and wellness, the proper infusion of education is eventuated. Thus, our flagship program, Mission Education, is dedicated to the noble cause of empowering underprivileged children in all ways. Our focus is to reach remote areas to provide them with digital education and make them familiar with the newer upcoming technology. This includes providing them online and offline content access. And empowering them to learn digitally through online training and resources. Integrating such technology in classrooms is important for children’s overall professional development.
The 360-degree- approach programme encompasses education, nutrition, and wellness support. This initiative is thoughtfully knit in with the New Education Policy of 2020. It also aspires to tread the path of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). SDG 4 aims to harmonise all factors of education and create the best features that can be used to educate par excellence. These factors are inclusiveness, fairness, equitability, and high-quality education. We thus pour in all our intentions, understanding, and actions to promote lifelong opportunities for all.
We are proud to state that currently, we are operating 1000 schools across Uttarakhand. Also providing the students with scholarships. And we are glad to say that thousands of students have benefitted from our program till now.
We centrally operate from the belief that education transforms, magnifies, and expands life’s quality. It is not just a fundamental right but a powerful tool too, especially for girls. We say so because we all have a good idea of the sacrifices and oppression that constitute a girl’s life in our society. Thus, it is time they are armed and empowered to fight their own battles and win. It is time that they are infused with knowledge and powerful personas.
We aim to impart vital skills to marginalised girls for their social and economic empowerment. Through our Girl Education Program, we aspire to break down barriers and create opportunities capable of transforming the lives of these young girls. They will be able to face challenges and make informed choices. Moreover, they will contribute the much-deserved joy to their lives and quite much to society.
Our initiatives in India are aimed at fostering girls’ education in the country. And to establish a nurturing, inclusive, and secure learning environment for them. We join forces with prominent partners to advocate for the significance of girls’ education. We pool in and mobilize resources through online donations. Our educational endeavours are in tune with the principles outlined in the Right to Education Act and are in accordant with the National Education Policy of 2020.
