    Prajayatna intends to address low learning levels of children in primary schools (Std 1 to 5) through the child-centric pedagogy developed by the organization which looks at the holistic development of the children. It is seen that such a learning approach is required to make the
    children interested in the process of learning. The advantages of such learning need to be seen
    and understood by the community in order to prevent migration of the children in the short run
    and ensure a better quality of life in the long term. There is also a need to mitigate the effects of
    the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring that the learning gaps are filled and the children are
    supported to learn further.

    Prajayatna began addressing ECCE concerns in 2000 by setting up child care centers in low-income areas near Bangalore. These centers aimed to keep older children in school, as many were dropping out to care for younger siblings due to the absence of quality ECCE facilities.
    Recognizing the need to improve existing Anganwadis, Prajayatna partnered with the Department of Women and Child Development in Karnataka to involve communities in
    managing these centers. Prajayatna’s work in ECCE began in 2009 and extended to 500
    Anganwadis across six districts. In 2022, Prajayatna expanded its efforts to Uttar Pradesh to create quality learning environments for children, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Presently working 187 anganwadis across UP and Karnataka.
