With a rich experience in the field of education, we actively collaborate with the Shirpur Educational Society (SES) and several other educational institutions to provide the highest learning for the local populace. Owing to our extensive experience, we have partnered with four tribal schools and actively organise extracurricular workshops and awareness programs that provide holistic learning. With free basic education, nourishment, and general development, we ensure the futures of these tribal children are secured.
At Shirpur, a lack of infrastructure and affordability led to poor educational conditions. Not only were people unemployed, but they were also actively seeking income opportunities elsewhere. Astitva developed a provision for free education for all age groups by collaborating with residential schools, also known as ashram shalas. Irrespective of their background, people with a passion for learning and growth are always welcome at these shalas.
Education is the key to change and development. A literate society can fast-track growth and innovation. Many academic facilities have enabled over 50% of the population at Shirpur to be literate. Even now, advanced degree programs are being set up to benefit a once marginalised community so they may soar to new heights.
An enterprising idea of Shirpur 60 was founded with the thought to provide underprivileged tribal children with equal opportunity. This initiative arranges free education and meals for 60 tribal children annually. The education they receive, teamed with sports training, access to technology, and more, has enabled them to stand neck to neck with students from metropolitan regions. So far, over 2000 tribal families have profited from the venture while we continue to enrich the lives of our students.
