Project Amhi Parivartak
We are the change makers
The Amhi Parivartak project is supported by VMware in Sangamwadi and Ganeshnagar – It aims to provide underprivileged youth quality education and self-improvement opportunities so that our youth become agents of change in their own communities.
The project supports
-Study centres to ensure quality holistic education with focus on improving fundamental learning skills and
-Youth clubs for enhanced learning opportunities while slowly changing their rigid attitudes (especially regarding gender roles).
The youth clubs are also resource centres equipped with computers and e-learning softwares. The clubs conduct discussions and debates on socially relevant topics. In this way, children themselves will become agents of change or Parivartaks. Value based Education plus right mindset will lead to Empowered Communities.
In 2019-20, project was expanded to 2 new locations in Hadapsar area with the support from Slack Technologies. Focus was on improving skills related to Science, Math, communications and e-learning. Environmental awareness rallies, sessions on gender sensitivity, sports tournament, Yuva mahotsav (An event to felicitate young change-makers), Balmelava (a gathering for children to express their emotions) were some of the special initiatives under this project.
