1. An Overview

Though there have been efforts from the state for universalisation of primary

education and a constitutional directive of free and compulsory education, it

largely remains a neglected sector where a lot still remains to be done. Even if

government records show an increase in number of enrollments, in number of

schools, number of teachers etc... but qualitative improvement lags way

behind.

Children of migrant populations who move from villages to cities in search of

better livelihoods continue to be outside the education system. These children

wile away their time playing in the streets or working as casual labourers when

they should be in school studying, learning and playing for a secure future of

our country.

Vidya & Child was conceptualized in 1998 with this inherent need of our

society in mind. Since then, it has been working with underprivileged children

providing them with an opportunity to learn, explore and dream through good

quality education. Children at Vidya & Child prosper in a positive atmosphere

where they learn academics and also explore the creative worlds of Kathak,

Tabla, Music, Arts & Theatre.

Started in 1998, with 2 children being taught in a living room it today reaches

out to over a 1000 children across 5 centres of which 4 are in Noida, UP and 1

in Siwan, Bihar. With staff strength of over 70; of which about 50 are teachers,


Vidya & Child is set to embark its journey to take the child-centric approach of

the organization to the next level. It will be our endeavour to focus on learning

of each child in the Vidya & Child system across all programmes.

Individuals who came forward and contributed to our organization as

donors or as volunteers did so because they believed that they could

make a difference however small. They knew that if one wants to see

change a beginning is to be made and decided to be the agents of

change themselves because future comes one day at a time.

to contribute their time, effort or money towards the change they seek.

individual donors to spread the need for participation by each one of us

to contribute towards development of the socio-economic fabric of our

country.

us and trust our efforts. They support Vidya & Child as donors, as

volunteers - as our well wishers and help us spread the word around.

This centre caters to over 450 children across our Non Formal Education

Programme, After School Support Programme and the Foundation Programme.

About 60 children are admitted every 10 months in Class Nursery into 3

sections with 20 children each.


The community primarily consists of migrant population from states of Uttar

Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and a few are also from Orissa,

Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra. Most parents of these children are into

casual jobs like domestic servants, vegetable vendors, rickshaw pullers, tailors

and plumbers and earn Rs 3500 – 4000 per month on an average. Staying in

an urban slum they do realize the benefits of education but their daily struggle

to make ends meet leaves little money for good quality education.

Our second centre in Noida is located on the Greater Noida Expressway. It

reaches out to 125+ children. A total of 13 children have been mainstreamed

from this centre and another batch of 12 is ready to be mainstreamed. The

community here consists of mainly farmers who are illiterate and have

improved financial status as they sold their land to Noida Authority. Due to

fast development of the area with residential and commercial projects there

are also few factory workers, and casual job workers like domestic helpers, car

cleaners and daily wage labourers.

children from the biggest slum in Noida. The first batch of 10 children from

this centre is ready to be mainstreamed. The parent community primarily are

daily wage labourers, factory workers and casual job workers with temporary

jobs. Since there are many factories close by, many mothers are working in

temporary factory jobs. The average monthly income is Rs 3000- 4000/-. The

community here typically returns to their village at the time of harvest and

return after 2-3 months.

wage factory & construction workers.


This is our only centre where the land belongs to our Trust and it has been

constructed as per our requirements with a great deal of thought. So far only

first phase of construction is done.

CLSA Chairman’s Trust, which is part of CLSA, Asia’s leading brokerage and

construction of 3 floors of our centre. This would complete the total construction

planned for.

outside of Noida. It caters to a little over 100 children and a few of them are

ready to be mainstreamed this academic year. The parents are mostly from the

farmer community however a few are small time entrepreneurs.

The teams in Siwan visit our main centre in Noida once or twice a year and the

content team from Noida visits Siwan twice a year to train the teachers about

lesson planning, using teachers manuals, conducting activities alongwith

administrative jobs. These regular interactions have helped the team in Siwan

follow the same systems & processes as followed in our Noida centres.

Our academic curriculum has been framed based on the following guidelines:

• An internally developed level based curriculum is followed. The focus of

our NFE programme is on building a strong educational base for the

child to be able to cope with the formal schooling system after class V.

• Subject wise, class-wise teacher’s manuals are followed for a uniform

and consistent delivery of good quality teaching.

• All subjects are taught through a variety of exercises so that children

get the opportunity to develop their logic and creative skills.

• Classes are conducted in an informal atmosphere where children are

given ample opportunity and encouragement to unleash their academic

& creative potential.

• Teachers follow detailed lesson plans which have been made well in

advance for every module. This is required for teaching to be effective

and well organised.

• Vidya & Child facilitates admission of children into the formal school

system after the child completes Class V at our non formal education

centres.

• We are able to develop on the commitment of parents towards their

child’s education and the parents are able to appreciate the long term

support that their child will require from them for completing school

education.

• The schools are carefully selected by our board with respect to the

quality of education they provide and their social commitment towards

the cause of the less privileged.

• School costs are borne jointly by the parents and Vidya & Child. We

insist that the parents contribute towards their child’s school education

costs. This is to ensure that the parents further acquire a sense of

commitment to and involvement in the child’s education.

• We interact with the school authorities to keep abreast of the child’s

progress at school and take preventive steps wherever required in case

of any issues that may arise.

• After school hours every child spends 4 hours at our centre everyday.

This time is spent in reinforcing academic concepts as well as in extra

curricular activities.

• Teachers supplement the school education and provide help with the

lessons. These teachers play a very important role in giving the

necessary support to the children to keep them motivated.


• A strong and committed team of volunteers provide academic inputs by

taking classes on a regular basis for all Math and Science subjects.

• We also further build on their concepts by promoting use of reference

books and workbooks in the library especially for concepts in English,

Maths & Science.

• This process involves supporting a child through school, constantly

evaluating and upgrading the quality of education being received by the

child. The project also identifies the creative potential of the child and

helps in channelling the strengths towards a suitable career path.

• Vidya & Child facilitates the admission of those children who complete

Class X to Class XI in the same or different school depending upon the


stream chosen by the student. It interacts with the school authorities

and acts a guardian to the student.

• A very strong relationship exists with the parents of each child as a

result of the continuous dialogue that is maintained since the child

enrolls with Vidya & Child at the primary level. We develop on their

commitment towards their child’s education and the parents are able to

appreciate the long term support that their child will require from them

for completing school education.

• School costs are borne jointly by the parents and Vidya & Child. We

insist that the parents contribute towards their child’s school education

costs. This is to ensure that the parents further acquire a sense of

commitment and involvement in the child’s education. This is a policy

that we maintain from the time the child is mainstreamed in a formal

school in Class VI.

• Teachers at Vidya & Child attend school PTM’s regularly and interact

with the school authorities to discuss any issue which needs to be dealt

with at our end or may need immediate attention. Overall performance

at school is closely monitored and gap areas if any are addressed

promptly.

• Children are provided academic support in Math, Science & Commerce

subjects by a group of experienced professional tutors. These are

people who are carefully selected by Vidya & Child for their strong

credentials and a passion for working for the cause of the less

privileged.

• Children need a positive atmosphere and continuous emotional support

for them to be able to think freely for themselves without undue

pressure. Despite hardships in their daily lives these children are

focused and determined to work hard to live their dreams. Vidya &

Child maintains a continuous dialogue with each of them on an

individual basis to understand their growing thought processes and

identify areas where support/intervention is required.


• Children undergo a professional counseling session which has

individual follow-up sessions every year to help them make informed

career choices in future keeping their interest, attitude & aptitude in

mind.

• Children who excel in Science & Math and show a keen interest in

pursuing a particular course/stream are provided professional coaching

for the same. Vidya & Child feels it is important to provide such children

with an equal footing in this highly competitive environment.

• In a world where change is the only constant, it is important that our

children are prepared to face this new world order. The Life Skills

Programme at Vidya & Child, helps children to manage their strengths

and handle their weaknesses so that they are able to face the real world

issues with confidence.

The Life Skills program at Vidya & Child allows for an understanding of an

individual’s value system and development of perspectives of the socio –

economic fabric of the environment in which we live in helps promote self-

responsibility and motivates children to maintain positive relationships and

respect for others. It helps children to learn to cope with their emotions;

develop empathy towards others, become more accepting in nature and try to

remain at peace with their inner selves in this ever changing world.


• Life skills is an integral part of curriculum at Vidya & Child for all

classes starting from Class 1.

• Textbooks for Life Skills are being followed for NFE classes along with

activities that further re-inforce the topic being discussed.

• A wide range of topics covered in NFE are – Caring & Sharing, Our

Heritage, Health & Fitness, Protecting Public Property, Human Values

etc.

• Focus is on being child-centric – A child’s absorption of the concepts

being taken up is monitored very closely; creative in the approach and

activities.

• Enable children to take responsibility for their action or inaction.

• The design and execution of the workshops is such that the teachers

work hand in hand with the natural state of mind and development of

each child, using their natural impulses to their advantage as opposed

to trying to suppress it.

• Design is created in such a fashion that the same can be replicated

across other institutions and hence can benefit a larger section of

society.

• Each approach is experiential

• Topic and module driven approach is taken to structure the process but


the same is not restrictive and rigid. The topics and modules vary

depending upon the response we get from children as well as the level

of absorption we observe

Teachers Manuals were made to help children learn in a more practical

and fun way and to discourage ‘bookish’ rote learning. This was a

completely new concept for the teachers and to ensure that it is

successfully implemented, teacher’s training was of paramount

importance. Trainings were held all through the year to acquaint them

better and to make them understand how to teach more effectively

using various methods interspersed with a number of activities.

Curriculum co-coordinators explained each chapter in detail and

demonstrated wherever required. Doubts and queries put forth by the


teachers were explained by the curriculum co-coordinators on their

weekly visits.

• Monitor implementation of level based curriculumMonitor implementation of level based curriculumMonitor implementation of level based curriculumMonitor implementation of level based curriculum

Vidya & Child started to follow a level based curriculum beginning last

year. This was essentially done so that children could move at their own

pace and those who needed little more time could be grouped together.

This also helped children who were over-aged move faster and be ready

for mainstreaming at the right age.

The monitoring was done at various levels starting with the Project

Officer who took weekly feedback from the teachers on syllabus

completed, issues pertaining to any topic etc.. This is done class-wise &

subject-wise.

Apart from this, the curriculum co-coordinator assigned to the centre

also observed classes on a weekly basis to understand quality of

delivery by the teachers and areas where handholding or help is

required.

• Analyze Class Flow ChartsAnalyze Class Flow ChartsAnalyze Class Flow ChartsAnalyze Class Flow Charts

To implement a level based curriculum successfully a class flow system

was started last year. This represents the flow of each group of children

right from their time of admission at Vidya & Child to their time of

leaving the centre i.e. completion of Class V. This helps us identify

over-aged children as well as slow learners so that corrective steps can

be taken to address such children.

The class flow system was analyzed from time to time through the year

to allow movement of children from one level to another for those who

were either over-aged or a slow learner. The class flow system allowed

us to keep track of their pace. It helped us identify overage children and

plan their movement so that they are ready for admission at the right

age.


• Conduct Conduct Conduct Conduct Academic ReviewAcademic ReviewAcademic ReviewAcademic Reviewssss

The academic reviews were conducted by the NFE Programme Director

twice in a level which consists of 50 teaching days - once at the end of

25 days and once at the end of 50 days. Detailed sessions were held

with each teacher where they were asked questions about their

progress, achievements and problems faced during teaching.

The final review was done at the end of every 50 teaching days which

also signifies the end of a level. It was done to help understand the

progress of the syllabus and plan the next level.

The academic review helped decide if a particular class was ready for

the assessment or if they needed a few extra classes. In case a concept

or topic was not understood extra time was given for that particular

class.

Teachers were given inputs/feedback on their weak areas and trained

on how to strengthen them.

• Evaluate ‘Topic of the Day’ moduleEvaluate ‘Topic of the Day’ moduleEvaluate ‘Topic of the Day’ moduleEvaluate ‘Topic of the Day’ module

Topic of the Day is a 20 minute session after morning assembly. The

module consists of value-based stories which the children can relate to.

This was started two years back, this entire module is developed

internally keeping the children’s exposure and surroundings in mind.

Stories are read out to children and the learning from the same

discussed. Children are exposed to values like honesty, respect,

politeness, punctuality etc. in the form of stories and then helped to

identify themselves with the characters of the stories. Children are able

to relate to these stories and draw parallels in real life and are gradually

able to differentiate the good from the bad.

The Topic of the Day sessions was observed by the Project Officer and

the NFE Programme Director through the year. Teachers and children

gave a very positive feedback to this 15 minute session and felt that it

was a nice way to start the day and make children settle down after the

assembly.

The class flow system did manage to pull many over-aged children

through and we were able to mainstream them but those who could not

be mainstreamed were put together and will now complete education

through the National Institute of Open Schooling.

NIOS classes were started this year and besides the initial challenges of

finding a teacher familiar with NIOS syllabus the going has been

smooth. Regular monitoring and internal assessments will be required

in the future.

These children will be completing Class VI to Class VIII in two years and

then take admission in Class X. After a year in Class X they can appear

for the exams and then for Class XII after a gap year in between. This

way the children can save 4 years and also learn some vocational skill

along so as to be ready to be gainfully employed.

• Computer Aided LearningComputer Aided LearningComputer Aided LearningComputer Aided Learning

To make learning more effective and fun the content team at Vidya &

Child decided to integrate computers with subjects as a tool for

teaching rather than treat ‘computers’ as a subject by itself.

Content for both Math & EVS has been put together. Resource material

for these classes like Activity sheets, links to videos explaining topics,

power point presentations etc. have been divided subject-wise, level

wise and topic-wise.

Children are now familiar with computers and look forward to the

classes which are held once a week. The audio-visual medium is a great

attraction for children and they show an increased interest in the

subjects. There has been an increased level of interest in Math &

Science as a subject and teachers also find it easier to revise concepts

with the help of the computer.

Every year children are taken to various places of interest to provide

then exposure as well as a much needed break which they truly

deserve. Children living in communities live in one room tenements and

lack open spaces to run around and play.

These field trips provide them with an opportunity to experience a new

environment ie the open spaces to play around. Children are taken

class-wise accompanied by teachers from Vidya & Child.

Few excursions taken in the year 2010-11 were -

Botanical Garden, Noida for Picnic, Drawing and Slogan Writing

Children were grouped according to their academic performance,

attendance and behaviour. This was done so that we could focus on

children who needed that extra push to better their academic scores at

school and focus on their problem areas. Individual sessions with

children were held and their key strengths and weak areas were

discussed. They were asked to remain focused and devote more time to

academics for the next few years.

Those who were not so good in academics were approached differently.

Besides individual counseling, their academic weak points were studied

and old concepts revised even if it meant revising concepts of previous

classes.

Counseling to these children was provided by our teachers under our

new initiative ‘Komal Sparsh’ and regular PTM’s were held to discuss

child’s behaviour at home besides academics.

• Close coClose coClose coClose co----ordination with Volunteersordination with Volunteersordination with Volunteersordination with Volunteers

The ASSP team at Vidya & Child has worked closely with the volunteers

to understand academic or behaviour issues of children and take

corrective measures in the least possible time. This was discussed as we

felt that delay in our reaction time allows for children to lose focus and

interest.

The volunteers support children on their academics for chosen subjects

on a weekly basis and strengthen their concepts and basics and also

reinforce what is being taught in school. They regularly evaluate the

academic progress on the chosen subject and intervene accordingly.

Volunteers help in making studying more interesting for children and

provide specific, one on one focus to children when required besides

helping in course completion.


• Increase Volunteer StrengthIncrease Volunteer StrengthIncrease Volunteer StrengthIncrease Volunteer Strength

Vidya & Child believes & acknowledges the support it has received from

volunteers over the years. Consistent efforts through the years have

resulted in a strong network of committed individuals who take out

time from their busy lives and impart their skills/knowledge to our

children.

Volunteers at Vidya & Child have provided academic support, been

mentors to our older children, organized field trips and excursions for

our children and provided creative opportunities to our children.

Vidya & Child has collaborated with Manas Foundation, New Delhi to

provide training in counseling and psychological skill enhancement to

our teachers. This facilitates our teachers to reach out to our children

and have better interaction quality with the children especially those

going through their teen and adolescent years.

Manas Foundation is a registered trust dedicated to mental health care

for the individual and the community. It attempts to address the diverse

mental health needs with a multidisciplinary team based approach.

Mental health or well being is a very subjective term and is dependent

on various social & interpersonal spheres within which a person lives.

Children in the urban slums such as ours, go through very difficult

situations every single day of their lives. Being at a very impressionable

age they get affected by them on various levels psychologically.

We at Vidya & Child, through this new initiative would like to help

children help themselves and emerge victorious in their day to day

battles.

The Mentor Program helps children with guidance on specific individual

issues that they may face in their personal or academic life. It provides

them with a focused approach and facilitates them in finding solutions

to their concerns/problems. It helps children clarify their goals and

become more confident and responsible to be able to plan for their

careers.

The Mentor Program is made available to each child for a minimum

period of 3 years starting from Class X to the completion of Class XII.

Each child is assigned to a mentor and not more than 5 children are

assigned to one mentor. One to two hour sessions are held individually

on a one-on-one basis between the mentee & the mentor once a

fortnight initially for as long as it is required and later it may be once a

month.

A note from one of our mentors on her experience with the children is

given below –

My Experience:

Sashmita & Pramila, the indispensable & inseparable friends, in

juxtaposition, were asked to be mentored by me, along with three other

students of Vidya & Child .


It was February 2010, when for the first time I met a batch of 5 students whom I

was asked to mentor. Unaware of the role which was bestowed on me, I carried

on through a simple mode - Communication. We simply talked and we bonded

and all of us evolved in this relationship, which is so close to my heart.

To get back to the point, Sashmita was extremely confident & talented person,

who believed in leading. While, Pramila dwelled in her complex world, shy,

subdued & reluctant to step out into the world because of her dark complexion,

unaware of the beauty it carries for her.

Pramila was & is my mirror image. Sashmita is what I would have loved to be,

a person who believes in attaining nothing less than a centerstage.

Almost an year now, there is a tremendous change in both, that too for better. I

am in love with these two girls for the way they turned out to be in a span of a

year. Pramila was deliberately asked to be the part of an institute like YWCA, to

be in midst of the mainstream crowd, which in turn would helped her to step

out of self-inflicted inferiority complex & introvert mode, and step into the

mainstream world. Today, she can walk up to anyone & enquire about the

process, she has the confidence to take the world in her stride & a self-belief.

While Sashmita now balances her overt confidence through a sincere

approach & fine balance in leading the group.

Following steps were taken while mentoring the two:

1. Shape up the confidence & help a student to beat their inferiority complex.

2. Give them a positive attitude towards their self - identity

3. Help them in honing the basics such as aesthetic sense, communication skills,

computer skills, English proficiency & above all sensitizing them towards

larger issues & values

4. Being a friendly ear & a helping hand to their sociological, physical, family

and at times, to sexual concerns which come with the age.


5. Be a friend to them & give them a sense of security & belongingness.

I am extremely proud of them & look forward to the successful innings of their

academics & career.

In a world where change is the only constant, it is important that our

children are prepared to face this new world order. The Life Skills

Programme at Vidya & Child, helps children to manage their strengths

and handle their weaknesses so that they are able to face the real world

issues with confidence.

Several workshops were conducted for children of Class XI and above

on various topics. Details of the same are provided under Life Skills

Programme.

Children who excel in Science & Math and show a keen interest in

pursuing a particular course/stream are provided professional coaching

for the same. Vidya & Child feels it is important to provide such children

with an equal footing in this highly competitive environment.

One of the children was provided professional coaching by FIITJEE for 2

years. He attended weekend classes at FIITJEE and his hard work and

efforts put in has paid off. He went to FIIT JEE for engineering entrance

exam coaching and studied hard to get good ranks in JEE, AIEEE and

UPTU exams. He missed getting into an IIT by a short margin but has

got admitted to the prestigious National Institute of Technology (NIT)

Rourkela. He is pursuing an integrated M.Tech course in Electronics &

Communications.

classes along with our senior children after school hours. A child enrolls for

an activity and

Children as part of this programme have the option to learn Kathak, Tabla,

Vocal Music, Theatre, Art and Craft etc... The engagement of each child in

these Art Forms is very process oriented. Professionals from different fields

teach our children these art forms in a very positive & nurturing

environment. The interactions take place by being sensitive to a child’s

need, to develop focus within and work on group dynamics.

In today’s world where change is the only constant it’s common to often

find individuals fumbling with issues of all kinds. Be it communication

issues, inter-personal issues, behavioural issues, social issues or

managerial issues.

This ever changing scenario all around us demands a great deal of

preparedness from individuals and more so from the future generation.

Our children need to be prepared for this new world order and find

their own space, create their own identity and above all be at peace with

their inner selves.

Our Life Skills program works with this long term goal in mind.

It helps children think objectively and creatively about a given situation;

learn to weigh pros & cons and make positive decisions; learn to solve

problems; learn to handle inter-personal relationships better and

communicate and express themselves better

It also helps them understand themselves better. They learn to cope

with their emotions; develop empathy towards others, become more

accepting in nature and try to remain at peace with their inner selves in

this ever changing world.

1. Vidya & Child – The Organisation

Our PhilosophyOur PhilosophyOur PhilosophyOur Philosophy

Vidya & Child today works with 1000+ children across 5 centres. It is

driven by the belief that growth whether in size and numbers or

qualitatively can only be achieved when we work hand in hand with all

the stakeholders of Vidya & Child. The donors, volunteers, parents,

employees all work with the belief that each child who is part of Vidya &

Child should get individual attention and support to complete his

education and chart a career path for himself.

Along with the above, we continue to believe that

- Focus should be on each child who is part of our system.

- Long term relationship should be built with each child over the years

- Arts & Performing Arts should continue to provide a channel for

children to focus their energies positively.

- Extended support should be provided to each child even after he

completes Class XII till the time they are financially independent.

Our Organisation StructureOur Organisation StructureOur Organisation StructureOur Organisation Structure

A simple structure with clear roles and responsibilities for each of the

Programme Heads and other members helps to run the organsiation

smoothly.


Our Teachers & StaffOur Teachers & StaffOur Teachers & StaffOur Teachers & Staff

The teachers of Vidya & Child today, are a dedicated and committed

team of young and the old. It is a good balance of experience and

wisdom along with energy and enthusiasm. Our journey would have

been incomplete without their passion, commitment and whole-hearted

support to the organization at all times.

Our team comprises of over 100 members of staff that includes

teachers and administrative staff and volunteers across our 5 centers

that cater to over 1000 children. Vidya & Child is proud of the fact that

many amongst our team members have been with us for over 5 years

and a few for over 10 years.

Capacity Building

Capacity building at different levels is of prime importance to Vidya & Child

to leap frog from the current state. We believe that right enablement and

empowerment of each individual associated with Vidya & Child is extremely

important to expand and improve. Capacity Building becomes further

important to achieve the objective of exchanging our best practices with

other organizations working in the similar space.

To ensure that capacity building is consistent across the organization, we

have designed capacity building on the following groups in parallel through

perspective building, skill building and exposure.


1. Teachers

2. Core Group

3. Programme Heads

Perspective BuildingPerspective BuildingPerspective BuildingPerspective Building

We believe that results can be achieved in various ways but the most

important part is the process of achieving those results and the

perspective with which any action is taken matters the most. Core

objective behind perspective building is to generate clarity on the

perspective with which we deal with each situation and assigned task.

Clear and effective perspectives can be built when there is an

understanding and appreciation of:

• Impact of external environment on the functions that an individual is

responsible for

• Core philosophy and objectives that form the basis of the

organization’s vision

• Value system that enables an individual’s ability to effectively think

through a process or a situation

Skill BuildingSkill BuildingSkill BuildingSkill Building

Vidya & Child as an organization recognize the importance of

continuously enhancing the skills of each individual connected with the

development of a child. Skills should not become a limiting factor in our

ability to expand, reach out to a larger part of society and in our goal to

bring about effective change. We have identified the skill development

requirements for each group and mapped the same with various skill

development programmes that would enable and empower individuals

to respond to organization’s vision.


ExposureExposureExposureExposure

Exposure to the world outside the realms of the organization is

required to bring awareness at two levels – self awareness and

awareness about what is happening in the outside world. Exposure

helps in enabling thinking and increases the capacity of an individual to

take initiative.

How will we achieve this? How will we achieve this? How will we achieve this? How will we achieve this?

We have identified various common as well as group specific topics that

need to be elaborated and reinforced upon. We have taken a creative

approach of achieving this objective where by we plan to conduct

monthly workshops for each group. The approach to these workshops

includes identification of development areas for groups as well as

individuals through observations, regular conversations and assessment

/ evaluation frameworks and using following mechanisms:

� Conducting activities

� Using movies and visual aids as tools

� Provoking discussions

� Increasing exposure to real life case studies of individuals

and situations (through stories and other mechanisms)

� Using external trainings

The year 2010-11 saw us training our teachers across different aspects

from orienting new and old teachers to Vidya & Child’s way of doing

things to skill building workshops like computer training to perspective

building workshops through our Life Skills Programme for the teachers.

Training sessions conducted as follows –

o Vidya & Child Orientation Session – July 2010

o Life Skill classes training session – September 2010

o Teachers Manual Training Session – September 2010


(For teachers of Nursery to Class III)

o Computer Training – September 2010

(To take Computer aided learning classes)

o Teacher’s Life Skills Workshops – August 2010

o The Teachers Guide session

o Computer Training – March 2011

All teachers were given basics training of computers – its

various parts and its functions were explained briefly. The

main focus was on making teachers learn how to access

emails, open attachments, make attachments and reply to e-

mails.

o Teacher’s Life Skills Workshop – January 2011

This was a 2-day workshop and the topic was ‘Individual as

an agent of change’. The objective of the workshop was to

highlight and reinforce the following points that emerged

from prior workshops:

- Change is not necessarily big. Even small changes are

important for the individual as well as the society at large.

- Small changes set examples for others to follow

- In our relationships with children and their parents how do

we come above our mental boundaries and focus on

humanity

- Having Passion & Conviction, Taking Initiative and

Remaining Focused are key to bringing about a change

Various activities were planned around the above topic,

discussions were held, images and clippings were shown

followed by a Movie – ‘Welcome to Sajjanpur’ & Pot Luck

Lunch.

o Perspective Building Workshop – March 2011

Topic of the workshop – Refreshing Ourselves to Move Ahead


This workshop was attended by all teachers of Vidya & Child

and was conducted by Ms Jaya Srivastava, Former Director,

Ankur Society for Alternatives in Education, New Delhi

The objective of the workshop was to draw upon own

experiences and look within to see for themselves where s/he

stands vis a vis Child centered perspective and then plan to

work towards filling the gaps that emerge.

It is imperative that Vidya & Child focuses on each child so

that the ‘child’ can be made to believe that he or she can do

as well as any other child irrespective of socio economic

background. ‘Child’ here means ‘Every Single Child’ and

hence our approach should be focused on each and can vary

from child to child.

Creating Volunteering OpportunitiesCreating Volunteering OpportunitiesCreating Volunteering OpportunitiesCreating Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteers have supported Vidya & Child through their belief in our

objectives, giving constant support and encouragement to our children

and being involved whole heartedly in our programmes and activities.

Vidya & Child makes efforts to actively involve volunteers through

meetings where we interact and communicate with all the volunteers at

regular intervals seeking suggestions, feedback and exploring new

possibilities. A committed team of over 25 volunteers work with us on a

regular basis as academic teachers, creative artists, mentors,

counselors etc..

A few of our Volunteer engagements in the past –

1. Academic intervention has helped our children tremendously.

2. Many of our volunteers have taken up new roles and added more

and more value to the organization over a period of time.

3. Some individuals who joined as volunteers are now full time active

board members of Vidya & Child


4. All our 100 school going children today know how to use the

internet, work on power point due to a 3 year coordinated volunteer

interaction over weekends.

5. A large team of highly motivated volunteers comes every weekend to

teach children at Vidya & Child. These volunteers have painstakingly

worked on strengthening the academic concepts of the children.

6. Children learnt Art & Craft for over a year from a professional and

helped in making our exhibition of December 2006 a huge success.

7. Our annual children’s newsletter, appropriately termed as ‘Utsaah’ is

the result of a single-handed effort by a volunteer who spends 45

minutes per day, 3 days a week with children.

8. Vidya & Child started in July 1998 with a small class-room in a low

income colony. Over the years we have been dependent upon local

landlords for more classroom space and the ever increasing rental

costs are a huge financial burden. To help us reach out to more

children, volunteers from Cadence raised funds for a facility which

Vidya & Child can call its own. Land of 350 square yards has been

purchased due to coordinated effort of these volunteers. The

possibility of actually owning a facility of our own where plans can

be made independently for ensuring quality education has made

every teacher and child of Vidya & Child extremely happy and

enthusiastic.
