Education
Vichar Sanstha aims at building models of social interventions which can bring about 100% literacy as well as equip every child with valuable life skills including knowledge of computers, latest technology, banking, first-aid and various career fields among other things. We believe in using creative learning techniques such as ‘learn by doing’ and ‘peer to peer’ learning which not only inculcate a curiosity to learn but also help the child retain knowledge better.
Our initiatives in the field of education include:-
- Our free public library with 10,000+ competitive exam preparation books and various fictional as well as non-fictional literature
- To bring about career awareness, our project ‘Anavaran’ involves a series of 16 sessions with each batch of students which involve a number of practical activities such as mock trial for understanding the legal system, roll plays, field visits and purva-paksha method of discussion
- In collaboration with the police department, the NGO has educated 83,000 students on crimes against women
- In times of COVID crisis, Vichar Sanstha joined ISRN’s ‘Antyoday Siksha Prerak Campaign’ under which 50 volunteers provided free education to 710 underprivileged children for 5 months
- Free coaching for 10th standard students and workshops on computer education, competitive exam preparation, public speaking and other topics
- The NGO funds the education of 50+ underprivileged students
