Millennium Fellowship Project: Community Learning Centre-Panchayat Library

The Community Learning Centre and Panchayat Library are ongoing projects under the Community Engagement Initiative of Azim Premji University. In CLC, we teach the children of our support & security staff and the migrant workers in our community with their academics. With the CLC, we are trying to maximize the use of the university resources while engaging the students in out-of-school learning through various activities. In the Panchayat Library, we visit the Panchayat Libraries in our neighborhood villages, engage the children of the neighborhood in fun activities, and help them with their academics, such as Maths and English. Recognizing that most children in the villages study in Kannada medium, we have interactive activities to expose them more to English, making them more comfortable with learning the language. Now, we are exploring the inclusion of art activities to understand and encourage the children’s interests, creativity and self-expression.
