Shiksha Kendra
Prayaas at IISER Bhopal noticed children near campus construction sites without access to formal education. Our volunteers teach them on weekends, covering subjects like math and moral education, along with art. Through engaging activities and games, we forge strong connections and foster their educational growth, making a positive impact on their lives.
Welcome to Shiksha Kendra, a beacon of hope and learning within the heart of IISER Bhopal's campus. We've identified a pressing issue - the children of construction workers residing on-site, who are denied the opportunity for formal or informal education. These young minds, full of potential, have been left in the shadows of illiteracy and limited opportunities.
Our volunteers, fueled by compassion and a dedication to creating change, gather every Saturday and Sunday to bridge this educational gap. Shiksha Kendra is more than just a classroom; it's a place where we nurture the seeds of knowledge and curiosity. We teach these children essential concepts in subjects like mathematics, provide moral education, and unlock their creativity through drawing and painting sessions. We believe that education isn't just about textbooks; it's about holistic growth.
But it's not all about academics. We also bring joy into their lives through fun games and activities. Through these interactions, our volunteers build meaningful connections with these young learners. These relationships go beyond the classroom, fostering an environment where these kids can flourish and dream of a brighter future.
Shiksha Kendra isn't just about teaching; it's about empowerment. It's about breaking the cycle of limited opportunities and giving these children the tools they need to shape their destinies. It's about instilling confidence, nurturing talents, and providing a safe and nurturing space where they can thrive.
By supporting Shiksha Kendra, you become a part of this transformative journey. You become a mentor, a friend, and a catalyst for change in the lives of these underprivileged children. Join us in our mission to create a more inclusive, equitable, and compassionate society where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to flourish and realize their true potential. Together, let's light the way to a brighter future for these young minds.
