WHO WE SERVE :
Mainly school children of daily wage earners who have a monthly income of about Rs. 12,000.
THE PROBLEM
The need for focusing on development of socio emotional skills arises from two aspects which constitute the sad state of affairs of the Indian education system:
1. Obsolete education system lacking socio-emotional learning & technology exposure :
The current education system was built on the principles of first and second industrial revolution mostly for clerical roles, with no room for cognitive skills or OVERALL development of children. The third and fourth Industrial revolution have altered the course of humans, and the nature of jobs in the current world. But our archaic education system is not equipped to empower the youth for the 21st century.
2. Under-resourced school system unable to provide 21st century education :
Most of these schools teachers lack the skills required to introduce children to technology such that a very small percentage of the children can be equipped, if at all.
