Education

Education is for all — the slogan a group of like-minded people came together behind, and the reason Aahwahan exists at all.

Why it matters

India has evolved from the gurukul to the digital classroom — and still not reached everyone

India is an institution in itself, with many forms of education, and has witnessed educational evolution from the gurukul system to the digital system; from Nalanda to the IITs. But did we reach a position where education is in every house, to every nook and corner? Government has taken up many schemes and initiatives to help everyone grow — but is it enough? What is our role as a citizen, and where can we contribute to make it happen, is what we should focus on.

What we run

Education on Wheels

Mobile classrooms equipped with smart boards, audio-visual aids, laboratory facilities, robotic labs and a digital library. A team of dedicated educators travels to remote villages so students have access to quality education at their doorstep. Around 90 students of any age group are taken through a session from a village, six villages weekly, on a four-month rotation.

From a one-room village school to a district topper — a laptop bank and a mentor changed the arc of my life.

Our missions

1
In this world of information technology, some villages have not heard of computers
2
Poverty, unawareness of its benefits and simple accessibility are what stop a child learning
3
Formal education has not stepped into our villages at the pace the cities move
4
Awareness comes first — 51% of every programme begins with an awareness kit

How we work

Where a school cannot be reached, the school travels. Where one exists but is failing, it gets rebuilt.

2
Government school adoption
Investing in infrastructure so that a well-equipped school makes children feel proud and motivated, improves their overall learning and lays the road for a better future. Adoption has occurred in over 248 schools so far, in both urban and rural settings.
3
Free computer centres inside schools
An extra skill is an extra feather on our wings. Around seven schools have free computer centres inside campus — KC Girls High School, Baidhar ME School and others in the pipeline — with the entire expense, and a computer teacher for each centre, carried by the Foundation.
4
Free education for the poor
To bridge the gap between the privileged and the underprivileged, free education is provided for the poor — awareness programmes first, then execution. Around 37 children have their educational care taken by the Foundation up to 10th standard.
5
Health teacher — a check on you
A health teacher looks after students' health-related issues and reports daily to a backup team of doctors, and motivates students to take part in daily yoga, games and mental wellbeing. A healthy mind rests in a healthy body — alongside awareness sessions on superstition, still prevalent in remote areas, and health and hygiene at parent-student meets.
