    Supported by the Nalanda Charitable Foundation, Azad India Foundation is actively running 50 Child Learning Centers, catering to the pre-primary and primary levels, strategically located in chosen villages within the Thakurganj block. In the academic year 2022-23, 3804 children successfully completed Class I, II, and III. Out of these achievers, 974 children were seamlessly enrolled into government schools at the Class IV level. Since the project's inception in 2016 until March 2023, a total of 7017 children have graduated from these learning centers and are now pursuing their education in mainstream schools. An additional activity by AIF involves establishing mini libraries within all 50 learning centers. The core aim of this program centers around ensuring that every child establishes a solid foundation in learning by the time they reach Class III. AIF has adopted the Gyanshala model, which hinges on utilizing workbooks and activity sheets for effective learning. These worksheets are built upon subject-specific narratives and inquiries, designed to be comprehensible for young children. Teachers are furnished with comprehensive teaching manuals tailored to their daily routines. Incorporating engaging methodologies, such as storytelling, songs, poems, and interactive activities, is integral to making the learning process captivating for the children.

    Azad India Foundation believes that educating women sparks transformation. When women learn, they become powerful forces for positive change in their families and communities. To achieve this, we continued our women's literacy program in 06 villages across Purnia and Kishanganj Districts, reaching 180 women.
    This program is all about empowering rural women through education, helping them lead, manage, and create positive changes in their communities. AIF formed 30 Self-Help Groups in these villages, where 120 women came together to learn and save money. These groups are also part of the Jeevika program by the Government of Bihar, which offers small business loans. AIF taught these women how to use mobile phones, read calendars, and fill out bank forms. Our team held meetings to explain government schemes and provided information on the necessary documents for applications.
