Our Challenge

The Right to Education in India guarantees free and compulsory education for the children. However, for a variety of reasons many children lack access to education and drop out of school. This phenomenon is even more pronounced especially for slum children. Hence, Mahesh Foundation intended to start a school “Utkarsha Learning Center” for such underprivileged slum children to provide them free education with an innovative education system. But, to find a building to run the school was a big challenge in front of us. To start school in rented premises is also a bigger challenge. Mahesh Foundation already had space but then, to afford the construction of classrooms was beyond the ability.

The Solution

Mahesh Foundation approached the Indo-Schottle Pvt. Ltd. for support to cope with the challenge. The Indo-Schottle Pvt. Ltd. is a company that manufactures auto parts. Mahesh Foundation received the necessary support and cooperation from the Indo-Schottle team. As a part of the CSR initiative, the Indo-Schottle team assured support for the construction of two classrooms. After years of efforts finally, the construction of classrooms completed in the year 2018 and the school opened its gates in the same year to inclusive education to bring a sustainable change in the education system. The classrooms are well-built to provide all the facilities that the children needed and create a learning environment. In the Utkarsha Learning Center, a total of 50 slum children enrolled within a year. The classrooms are bigger enough to manage more than 50 children in a particular classroom.
