Purpose

Project Utthan is supported by RSB Foundation and successfully run by Swa-Roopwardhinee – a 40-year-old NGO committed to improving the lives of those in need. It is a remarkable initiative aimed at improving the lives of underprivileged children in the urban slum areas of Pune. The project is specifically designed to support the education and facilitate overall growth in students from 3rd to 8th standard. 

Objective

 Project Utthan aims to promote the overall growth of underprivileged and gifted children by organizing support/remedial classes in critical subjects such as Science, Maths and English. Moreover, the project also conducts workshops on life skills and social development, physical and personality grooming and other skills ensuring that students get a holistic growth apart from education.

Initiatives

The project has set up 10 study centres across various parts of the city’s slum areas to ensure that every student gets access to support/remedial classes in Science, Maths, and English subjects throughout the year. This initiative has benefitted more than 1000 students across Pune by now and we have provided almost 80 most capable and deserving candidates with scholarship for further education. This year, three workshops have already been conducted along with one residential camp of four days for the students.
