Education – a Gift
for a Lifetime.
India is one of the fastest growing economies and this growth is fuelled by the large population of highly qualified manpower. Therefore, the future of India’s growth and the possibility of it becoming an economic super power will be affected by the quality of education provided at our schools. Most private schools would meet the standards. But children studying in majority of the government schools in the cites, slums and villages will miss opportunities as the schools are crippled with poor infrastructure and facilities, insufficient or poor-quality midday meals, inadequate teachers and low quality of teaching.
​
We ICDS after much study feel strongly that we can step in meet the need and fill this gap. The government has established 45,000 Primary Schools and 3,029 High Schools in the state of Karnataka. The government is doing its best to see that the children studying in these school receive free education; it needs the support of non-governmental agencies to enhance and support its programs to bring it goals to fruition. This collaboration can go a long way in producing scholars from our government school that can further fuel the growth of our nation by providing equal opportunities for those children who are underprivileged and vulnerable in our society.
With our 23 years of experience, working with the more than 100 Government schools, we have recognized that the children in these schools are deprived of an infrastructure and ambiance that can bring out the best in them.
Government School Adoption Program
Introducing our Government School Adoption initiative, dedicated to empowering students in government schools through three key strategies. First, we focus on providing quality education by appointing and supporting temporary teachers to enhance learning outcomes. Second, we organize extracurricular activities that promote a holistic approach to education, allowing every student to explore their interests. Finally, we are committed to developing infrastructure in schools, creating an environment that fosters a quality learning experience for all.
​
We work in close coordination with government agencies at various levels – National, State and District – to run child welfare projects. We work with the aim to support and contribute towards Government of India’s vision to build a “Bharat” where children are well-nurtured, with full opportunities for growth and development in a safe and protective environment.
Empowering students in government schools is our mission, and we are dedicated to achieving this through three key initiatives. First, we focus on quality education by appointing and supporting temporary teachers to enhance learning. Second, we organize extracurricular activities that promote a holistic approach to education for every student. Lastly, we invest in developing school infrastructure to create an environment that fosters a quality learning experience.
At ICDS, we recognize the immense potential of India's future, driven by its young and qualified population.
