Help us in educating the needy

Quality education and a good future are still a dream for many of India’s 270 million government school students. An alarming percentage, even in higher grades, cannot read or write in their mother tongue, let alone English. Over half cannot perform even addition or subtraction, and many suffer from anaemia. India is set to have the largest youth population by 2020, with over 363 million children below the age of 15. But the situation under which country is reeling, the youth will turn out to be a burden to the already overburdened society.

Yuva has created the Government School Adoption Program to reach out to these students in Bengaluru. The program includes imparting our experience, resources and methodology to government schools. We also provide provision for remedial classes. Realising the importance of health and sanitation amongst children, we assure that they have access to safe drinking water and good sanitation facilities. To impart holistic development amongst the kids we conduct o Skill development classes, educational trips and extra-curricular activities like yoga, sports, arts and music. Above all, we aim at inducing a spirit of enthusiasm and joy in each child.

Our programme has benefited 3,054 students (boys and girls) in 12 schools in Karnataka. The student to teacher ratio which was 70:1 has now reduced to 40:1. We have mainstreamed 61% slow-learning students (1,862 students). The conducive atmosphere for studying has created confident and better-performing students who regularly attend school.
