Santhusta Foundation

Supports the current early childhood programme, which was developed by ICDS and is government-prescribed, covering literacy, numeracy, and cognitive development. SKO's support for the programme consists of meeting resource gaps to enable teaching, providing online content as tools and resources, and supporting teacher training to guarantee that community educators are meeting the government-mandated Early Childhood Education Objectives.

It is an ambitious initiative launched by Santhusta to ensure the holistic development of a child. The objectives of this programme go far beyond Education to include the development aspects of Motor Skills, Social Cognition, Self-esteem and Communication. These are fundamental and core aspects of a child's development, the effects of which follow them into adulthood. Santhusta has chosen 10 local areas (or Anganwadis) of Jaipur to run this programme to create model centres of holistic child development that can be integrated into the mainstream.
