Vision & Mission

VISION

To curate a world where equality prevails and no child is denied the basic right to knowledge. We envision a world where a child’s economic background would no more be a determinant of their learning opportunities. We have designed models to ensure that children are provided with an all-rounded learning experience.

MISSION

Providing out-of-the-class and beyond-the-textbook learning experience. We don’t wish to limit a child’s learning to the school textbook itself. Rather our mission is to provide a platform to the children where they are free to explore their capabilities and built their capacity.
