We recognized the disparity in opportunities between the privileged and the under privileged children. The result was the introduction of the Montessori Style Instruction in Chennai Corporation Schools, starting in 2005. Our work has expanded from working in two K.G classrooms to working in 14 K.G. classrooms and 7 balwadi centers today. This by itself is an indication of the huge success of the project and we plan to expand and extend our work to more schools and balwadi centers if more funds come our way.
After three years of experience in corporation schools and Balwadis we feel it would be more appropriate to say that we are engaged in a movement for the rights of children.
