Educate 300 marginalized children in Bihar

The 2014 Education Report shows that only 66.6% of students studying in Grades 3 to 5 could read Grade 1 texts, 

while only 58.7% have basic computational skills in government schools. There is also a lack of opportunities for students belonging to socially and economically deprived communities. These children face widespread discrimination on lines of caste, religion, gender, and class identities in general. This stunts their social, emotional and educational growth.

Having identified the weakest link, Diksha, through its Knowledge Hub for Education and Learning, works primarily with displaced children between the ages of 5 - 18. These are primarily first generation learners whose parents are primarily daily-wage earners unable to provide access to steady or quality education to their children. In addition to addressing the gap of numeracy and literacy, the children are given access to tech tools; taught how to use computer programmes and use the internet.

1. A)round 300 marginalized children get direct benefits from this activity. These children are better placed to access opportunities that will allow them to contribute better to their society. Primarily, focusing on the girls' education and their access to technology , confidence and builds their creativity so that they are able to voice their aspirations meaningfully alongside their male peers. In the long run, this results in an overall community transformation.
