Impact

The hostel was started in 2013. Since then about 150 cheildren have completed their school education by staying in the hostel. The children in the hostel would have lost out their education but for this initiative. In Anganwadi & Primary the learning standards and overall quality of the children has improved. Every year about 5500 benefitted through these two programs. Our involvement has improved the enrollment of children both in Anganwadi & Primary. The science & quiz program along with computer labs are designed to ensure that children in class 6th to 8th are able to understand the basic of Science, Maths & Technology. Every year about 5000 in various government schools participated & benefitted through these programs. The Primaty Health Centres (PHC) are the first stage of heath care available in the rural areas. However most of the PHCs in the rural areas are short on both staff & infrastructure. OUr various efforts in the area of health focusses on improving the qaulity of healthcare & obviate the need for people to approach private hospitals.
