  • Education of migrant labourers

    The 2017 Economic Survey of India reveals that nearly 9 million individuals migrate annually from rural to urban areas. Within this migration, an estimated 6 million are school-going children accompanying their parents in search of a better future.
    The transient nature of migration often results in these children being deprived of their fundamental right to education. Vibha emphasizes the necessity for a sustainable and replicable solution, with local government and employers (primarily builders employing migrant labour) as key stakeholders. Local governments possess the resources and frameworks to scale such solutions, while local employers typically have a better understanding of the demographics of the migrant workforce.
    Vibha is currently in the process of developing operational strategies in collaboration with high-potential grassroots-level implementation partners, such as the "Door Step School" in Maharashtra.

  • Shikshana

    Families and children often lack the motivation to prioritize education, while teachers may lack enthusiasm due to inadequate training and low pay. Sikshana, a long-standing Solution Partner of Vibha since 2002, addresses this motivation gap through four main elements- Rewards and incentives, Safe to fail environments, Structured learning, and Deliberate practice. In 2006, Vibha recognized Sikshana as a replicable, scalable, and sustainable model for transforming the public education system.
    Within the first two years of partnership, Vibha supported Sikshana's expansion from 15 to 130 schools, benefitting 56 schools in total. By 2013, Vibha supported approximately 185 schools and collaborated with Sikshana to experiment with various strategies to optimize the model. In 2017, the Government of Karnataka signed an MOU officially acknowledging Sikshana as a model to be implemented in all Karnataka Government schools.
