Strengthening Learning, One Child at a Time
Our education work is grounded in the belief that strong foundational learning is the bridge to a better life. We partner with schools, communities, and children to build spaces where joyful, meaningful, and lasting learning thrives.
In India, even with notable progress and many NGOs striving to improve education, the reality is stark —education of countless children are at risk, and it highlights the urgent need to provide support for the education of children.
As per ASER data 2024 :
- 73 % of Class III kids in government schools can’t read a Class II text.
- 67 % of them can’t even do simple subtraction.
- 63 % of Class V kids can’t read at a Class II level, and 70 % can’t solve basic division problems.

What Children Have To Say?
I never had the opportunity to go to school, before Glad Bharat Paathshaala. I get to ask questions, laugh with friends and learn without fear. Now I have friends and techer like Punam didi who help me in learning.
I once felt lost in class, unable to read or write. But after joining SPARSH, learning became joyful—now I read, write, understand stories, and dream of becoming a teacher. My mother feels happy & supportive to see me learning.
