Under Education thematic area:
 

Launch of science based experiential learning initiative with emphasis on clean energy models in 260+ schools in India with an aim to impact around 32,000+ children enrolled in Govt. schools across 25 district in 9 states. This program was launched under the intervention name Urja: Energizing Lives integrating overall development of school going children through science based learning and clean energy table top models.

Health and Sanitation corners established under the programme provides school students awareness on behavioral change on WASH along with significance of menstrual hygiene.

Ensuring access to safe drinking water is another critical objective targeted under the programme to strengthen the community institutions.

BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) - Added new colors to Urja through BaLA (Building as Learning Aid)- Due to the remoteness of the location, govt schools often lack proper infrastructure to captivate the students and enhance their learning skills which results in high rates of drop outs, to address this concern, we introduced BaLA (Building as Learning Aid). The BaLA paintings stimulates the curiosity among children to learn through visual depictions. We have deployed BaLA models in 78 schools across Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.

Technology is the need of the hour, through virtual learning students can connect with education ecosystem easily and add to their learning power. In FY23 30 digital classrooms were set up in Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.

Community Women - Launched 10 Women Literacy Centers in Rajasthan, MP, Gujarat, Punjab, Bihar and UP. 150 women were benefitted through this initiative. The aim of this intervention is to raise the importance of education among rural women and make them literate in the coming future.

URJA - 'Lab on Bike'

 

The sheer objective of the intervention is to develop a solid knowledge base among students and enhance their interest in Science. Hands on experiential learning helps them to understand the practical aspect of Science which was formerly missing due to their inaccessibility to modern education system.

Benefit to the community - This initiative will directly benefit the students who are the torchbearer of our environment protection actions. This intervention strengthens their ability to integrate and apply knowledge and skills, nurturing their creativity, collaboration and problem solving skills and also exhibit green energy as a reliable and sustainable source of energy.
