Education
Building Learning Pathways for
Marginalized Communities
Creating Inclusive, Equitable, and Empowering Educational Opportunities
Our Challenge
In Beed and neighboring districts of Maharashtra, generations of Dalit, Adivasi, and NT/DNT families have lived on the edges of society—cut off from opportunity, stability, and dignity.
Seasonal migration for labor, particularly sugarcane cutting, pulls children away from classrooms and into cycles of disruption and risk. Social discrimination compounds this instability, leaving children without access to quality education, nutrition, or safety. For girls and children of single women or displaced families, the barriers are even higher.
Our Approach
We take a holistic, child-first approach to education, meeting children where they are and building the scaffolding they need to succeed.
Our work focuses on two core strategies
- Hostel + School Model for Learning Without Interruption -Navchetana International English School and Navchetana Gurukul
- Reviving Curiosity in Tribal Hamlets/Bastis – Abhiruchivarg
