Education
We believe education is the stepping stone to a society rich in values and morals. By educating our children, we can bring about change in the quality of life at a grass root level. The gift of education turns those labelled as unsophisticated and uneducated into qualified individuals, able to earn a livelihood and be a part of society, rather than simply coexist in it. Education is the switch that turns youngsters into the next generation of leaders, the glue that turns individuals into strong communities.
At the Arya Group Foundation (AGF), our plan is to ensure that each and every child completes his or her primary education, and has access to a higher education. By doing so, we aim to make all the peripheral villages 100% literate. In order to achieve this goal, AGF has undertaken the following activities on a priority basis:
- Supporting a mid-day meal programme
- Supporting schools by providing study materials
- Offering students in peripheral villages a school bus facility
- Improving the infrastructure of local schools
- Helping students gain access to higher education
- Implementing an Adult Literacy programme
- Engaging volunteer teachers and staff members in government schools
- Offering technical training to Project Affected Families
