Asha for Education

The focus of Sikshana is not just to improve the state of a few schools or a few children studying therein. Rather it is aimed at evolving a sustainable model, which will lend itself to replication on a larger scale.

It focuses on the child as the sole beneficiary of all efforts; in cases where its interests clash with those of others around it, the former prevails. We believe that the interest of the child can and should be served even if the Community and / or the parents are not adequately motivated towards this objective.

Sivasri Foundation is a Trust that was formed for the specific purpose to raise resources through networking among like-minded people and organizations. The project was begun by a set of individuals committed to the cause of primary education in the Public Schools of the State of Karnataka. It is being implemented in close co-ordination with the State Government and its agencies.
