Projects at a Glance

Annapoorna is a project reaching hot nutritious hygienically prepared midday meals to underprivileged children in partnership with the government. The project reaches underprivileged children studying in government and government-aided schools. Annapoorna reaches 98,000 children of around 350 schools in Bangalore, 78,000 children in around 250 schools in Hubli, 65,000 children in 525 schools in and around Jodhpur (Rajasthan) and 12,000 children in 70 schools in Gulbarga.

 

The project improves enrolment, attendance and levels of learning in schools, enhances the health status of the children, and lays the foundation for healthy and productive lives.

 

Aata Paatha is a unique informal methodology that makes learning fun for children. Dance, music, drama, story-telling, drawing and painting, games and multi-media are incorporated to make the usually boring textbook come alive. It kindles curiousity, nurtures creativity, and increases the levels of learning.

 

Aata Paatha Cassettes have been brought out by Adamya Chetana. These cassettes are in consonance with the syllabus. Poems in the text-book have been set to tunes that children love to hum. The format is in the form of a narration that makes lessons fun!

 

Shikshaka Chetana is a resource centre for teachers. This is another project in the multi-pronged approach to improving the quality of education. Workshops, lectures, film shows, discussion groups, a library are some of the resources that teachers are provided access to. This centre is a forum for teachers to get together, learn, share and to bond together as a group of professionals.

It includes the midday meal, drinking water facility, renovation of buildings, health check-ups, provision of uniforms and sweaters, with the active participation of committed housewives who nurture these schools.
