  2. Project Description • Location: Kishangarh/Qutab Institutional Area • Area (urban/rural): Urban/Urban village • Primary Focus: Primary education • Aim: The aim of the organisation is to provide good, quality education to children from slums who would otherwise not be able to get access to such education.

  3. Project contact: Sanghamitra Bose • Surprise site visit conducted by: Puneet (Asha Berkeley) and Kala (Asha Delhi)

  4. Background • Parents daily wage/contract laborers, house maids etc • Parent-teacher meeting once a month • Charge nominal fees (not so much for sustenance as to make parents feel their children are getting good education) • Government schools no good: children would rather spend their time loitering

  5. Infrastructure • 5 rooms at Shaheed Bhawan • ~5 rooms at Kishangarh • Small “Library” + Computer room: 5 really old computers at Shaheed Bhawan, 4 at Kishangarh. Could really use some more. • One meal is provided to the students, small kitchen with fridge, stove. • Toilets

  13. Issues • Space is a bit tight. • All students live in Kishangarh, however due to lack of space another center opened at Shaheed Bhawan (provided for free by the war widows association) • Bus to ferry the children (expensive!) • Fundraising concert to raise money for new premises (Euphoria, spending ~Rs 1M ) • Could use some better computers (donate old computers?) • Some books shared across students, could use some more
