The Beginning


3/32

The Beginning

Parivartan was set up in 1997 by Shakil Ahmed , a human rights activist andlawyer who grew up in the slums and dedicated his life to championing the under privileged. To this day he still remains in the slums, choosing to stay connected tohis community.

Parivartan is currently running two centres within the Sangam Nagar Wadalaslums, providing a non-formal education to children who do not attend school dueto issues that surround social, political and gender discrimination.

In 1999 Shakil made a petition in the high court against the Government,requesting a public school be built within this area and won the case

Parviartan along with other organisations are currently awaiting the results of apetition filed against the Government on the neglect and lack of protection thatsurrounds the education of children from 0-6 yrs old

education for all children

Key Issues


9/32

Migration: Children do not get their education from the families who are belowpoverty line, so they constantly migrate in search for their livelihood

Labour and household work: When both parents are out earning, the older children are dropped from their school to look after their younger siblings.

Gender Discrimination : girls are grown up as little parents and told todiscontinue their study. The overall responsibility of household work then lies withthem whereas their brothers are allowed to continue with their studies.

Key Issues


10/32

First Generation Learners : children who are first generation learners lackconfidence as their families lack awareness regarding education.

Economic: due to the poverty that these families they are unable to sendtheir children to school

Government Policy: education is not given equally to all and therefore adiscrimination

Madrassas : children are sent here for religious study, which they feel isvery important & sufficient for the development of their child, which leads

to loss of education.
