Avaniti Education and Training Foundation works towards providing access to early childhood education to the children devoid of any preschool and come Read more from the most disadvantaged sections of our society such as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG). Avaniti also works with the government anganwadis of tribal and rural belts of Chhattisgarh to improve the quality of early childhood education through localized and play based projects. We believe in collaboration with children, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders at various levels to develop and promote a quality learning environment for children in their early age groups (3 to 8 years). Our work includes developing sustainable teaching-learning materials, specific to the learner's context and culture, and offers courses on various issues of early childhood education for teachers, supervisors, and other stakeholders working in the domain of early education; along with promoting research and case-studies relevant to early childhood education.


Issue

More than 30% children of early age-group in India are not enrolled in any kind of preschool due to no infrastructure and unaware parents or community members, specifically from disadvantaged communities, such as rural and tribal populations. Secondly, the existing government early education system lacks in terms of providing quality early learning due to systemic inattention, untrained teachers, and lack of capacity building programs.

Avaniti Education and Training Foundation is providing access to Context-Based and Child-Led (CBCL) early childhood education through community-based interventions and capacity building programs. Currently we have two programs called Phoolbati and Ujood.
