Through a struggle, we saw: – the Govt. adopting leap-frog initiatives like Vidyagama, community classes etc. – the teachers fluttering between students, schools, remote-learning and innovative techniques. – the parents trying hard to support the children from home. – Rising public support that recognizes how essential schools are, in society. – New education allies that have galvanized – from parents to social welfare organizations to support the children’s learning.We, at Vidhyadaanam, would like to seize this moment to transform education to better serve…

Independence Day -2019

Thousands laid down their lives so that our children can live in a country free of hunger and fear, free of illiteracy and want. What better way to remember their sacrifice than to imbibe their vice and virtues in these young hearts, forever. Independence day is celebrated with lots of colour and vigour in the schools. Many activities like fancy-dress, rangoli competition, processions etc outline the celebrations. Vidhyadaanam is proud to support this year’s fancy-dress competitions and their awards in 6 designated schools. We hope to carry on this association through various such events. More details and pictures are here:…
