ISST’s community outreach initiative focuses on instilling constitutional values in future citizens—young children and adolescents from marginalized communities in Kalyanpuri, Trilokpuri, and Khichripur in East Delhi. For over two decades, ISST has engaged with these communities through its Saathi and Yuva Saathi Centres, with support from WIPRO Cares and the American Jewish World Service.
The Saathi Centre runs the Bachpan Programme, an educational initiative for children aged 3 to 15. This program aims to foster character development and personal growth, while ensuring school enrolment, re-enrolment of dropouts, and facilitating access to the 25% Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota in private schools. Activities at the Saathi Centre and Yuva Saathi Centre -
* Gender sensitisation training
* Gender training for adolescent boys
* Balutsav
* Workshop on gender-based violence
