School Support Program

The Need

Education is the foundation of a better future, yet millions of children from marginalized communities struggle due to inadequate resources, lack of proper guidance, and limited access to technology. Navjyoti India Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by providing quality education and holistic development opportunities to underserved students.

While running its Remedial Education Program, Navjyoti realized that students in government and low-budget schools often lack the necessary academic support, technological exposure, and trained teachers to help them excel. Additionally, with the announcement of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the need to handhold and mentor these schools to effectively implement the provisions of NEP 2020 was felt.

The Solution

To address these challenges and align with the vision of NEP 2020, Navjyoti launched its School Support Initiative, focusing on enhancing learning levels, integrating technology in education, and empowering teachers. This initiative supports schools by strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy, providing digital learning opportunities, improving infrastructure for ICT and STEM education, and conducting teacher training programs.

In government schools where resources are scarce, Navjyoti plays a crucial role in ensuring that students receive quality academic support, exposure to modern learning tools, and guidance to develop essential life skills.

Our Programs

To improve students' academic performance and overall growth, Navjyoti India Foundation runs four specialized programs in government schools.

1 Project Neev - Foundation Literacy and Numeracy Skills

Project Neev aims to ensure that vulnerable children from grades 3 to 5 achieve foundational literacy and numeracy skills, enabling them to develop essential reading, writing, and mathematical abilities. It strives to accelerate learning by implementing targeted interventions, effectively bridging the academic gap and helping students move closer to their respective grade levels.

Additionally, the program is committed to fostering the personal development of children by nurturing their curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Through engaging and interactive teaching-learning methods, it seeks to sustain their interest and motivation in education.

2 Career guidance and skill readiness labs in schools

This program aims to introduce 2,000 students to a variety of career paths, industries, and professions, enabling them to make informed decisions about their future. By conducting assessments, it seeks to identify and nurture the unique skills and talents of students, guiding them towards suitable career options.

Additionally, the program offers practical, industry-specific training and workshops to enhance students’ skills and prepare them for the demands of the modern workforce.

3 Holistic Development Through Creative and Skill-Building Initiatives

Navjyoti India Foundation is committed to fostering the overall growth of students by organizing a range of activities that align with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and focus on 21st-century skills. Art and craft sessions are conducted to nurture creativity and self-expression, while career counselling and skill readiness sessions introduce students to diverse career paths, helping them make informed decisions about their future.

The foundation also offers life skills training on communication, gender sensitization, and social awareness, equipping students with essential competencies for their personal and professional lives. These initiatives go beyond academic learning, empowering students with the skills, adaptability, and confidence needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
