Around 300 children (8-16 years of age) avail of the classes which are held every evening after school, in various locations in a neighboring slum. Most of the students are Muslim girls from extremely conservative backgrounds, who may face parental opposition to continuing their studies. In addition to providing academic help, the teachers also interact with the parents of the children and try to stress the importance of education for the child's future. They also frequently help the extremely poor students with uniforms, books and study material as needed. The classroom provides a conducive atmosphere for the children to study in, which is usually not available to them at home.
Vikas Adhyayan Kendra, established in 1981, is a secular voluntary organization engaged in the study and research of contemporary social issues in the context of Indian reality. One of the projects of VAK is that of providing free tutorial classes to children residing in the slums of Jogeshwari, an impoverished, Muslim-majority suburb of Mumbai prone to communal violence.
