Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Zariya
We all know the importance of quality education.
Many programs and schemes are working for
betterment in this sector, but issues persist. For instance, the inefficient ratio of the number of
students and the number of teachers assigned to
them—one teacher is responsible for a large
number of students, making learning difficult for each one of them. Another issue is punctuality and attendance of the teachers, who often do not perform their duties honestly. Also, children are
admitted on the basis of their age rather than
their academic capabilities, which further makes
it difficult for them to cope with the syllabus. So,
the children who study in government schools
and belong to socially and economically
marginalised areas face difficulties in competing
with other students who are from a fairly well-off
background. So to make these children
competent and confident in their academic lives,
this project sponsors their coaching and tutoring
and promotes their holistic development.Our
beneficiaries include the children of rickshaw
pullers, house help, daily wage earners, etc. We
collaborate with leading learning institutions and
find sponsors who can at least support two
students in their learning journey.
Simultaneously, we provide the students'
progress reports to their respective sponsors.
Also, we will be holding workshops on various topics for these students like on mental health, financial literacy.
