The Need
Navjyoti India Foundation has been working in Yamuna Pushta since its inception in 1988. When the Yamuna Pushta Cluster was demolished in 2004 by the government for the commonwealth games, the community was rehabilitated to Bawana, North West Delhi. In early 2004, 40,000 homes were destroyed, displacing 120,000 people. Also destroyed were schools, businesses, and social service organizations which served the poor.
Our Remedial Child Education Program grew out of a compelling need to break an inextricable relationship between loitering, rag-picking, begging and out-of-school street children, with criminality such as drug peddling, abuse, pickpocketing, child labor and other social evils in the Bawana Community.
The History
In 2007, the Navjyoti Remedial Education Program was launched to address learning gaps and ensure that no child is left behind in their educational journey. By providing targeted tutoring and resources, the initiative has helped numerous students improve their academic performance and gain confidence.
In 2020, the program transitioned to virtual education to maintain continuity during the pandemic.
In 2021, Navjyoti introduced futuristic courses at the remedial centers, aligning with the National Education Policy 2020, to equip students with skills and knowledge relevant to the future.
