| Education
to Deprived Children |
India is a country of contrasts! The country has as many as
53 billionaires; the fourth highest in the world. But the
same country has over 3 million children living on the streets.
Among the world’s 10 richest people, four are Indians.
On the other side, 17 million Indian children work as labourers.
India’s economy is galloping around 7% GDP growth. But
also, 2 million children die before their first birthday due
to lack of immunization and medical facilities!
The statement "Children are the future of the nation"
stops making sense, then! In fact, it sounds like an ominous
prophecy.
Swabhimaan NGO believes that the desired changes in the
lives of such children will come only when more and more privileged
people start participating proactively in finding a solution.
The NGO also believes that the only way to ensure a
better future for these children is by educating them.
That is because education is both the means as well as the
end; it empowers these children and evolves them as better
citizens. |
About Swabhimaan Education NGO: How we Began |
In the year 2008, a group of young Engineers from Ludhiana sat to pay back to the society and country who had given them much, a nostalgic moment, love for the country, their eyes seeing the faces of millions of Indians, underprivileged, poor by birth, deprived, would remain so unless a difference was made to their lives. All of these educated entrepreneurs valued EDUCATION and knew that it held the key to changing lives & thoughts and imparted values of religion and nationalism. Ideas materialized into the dream project to provide free and need-based education which one needs in life time - In the proper environment of a class room with proper chairs/desks, blackboards, playgrounds and trained teachers, along with good books and TV & educational CDs as help for the modern education system at school. The poorest locality in Haibowal, Ludhiana, consisting of poor migrant laborers, sweepers and housemaids was chosen and an institution is progressing towards excellence today.
Our aim is to help the poor persons irrespective of caste, color, creed, race or Religion to gain education by starting more & more projects in particular areas as per their requirements and needs.
