Shiksha's response to the Pandemic

Medical Aid
Primary health care and free vaccinations to our older students and alumni were provided via our sister non-profit, “Chikitsa”.
Nutrition
Free supply of nutritious midday meals or free food rations was maintained throughout the lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic; our dedicated staff also free distributed hundreds of Kilos of basic essentials like rice, dal, cooking oil to the underprivileged.
masks & Hygiene kits
Masks and hygiene kits, including soap and sanitizers, were free distributed to Shiksha students and their families and others living nearby.

Class 8 Farewell
A get-together with a message
Graduating class 8 is just one small step for our students. We hope that they will go on to complete class 12 and may be even college.
The students, their parents and teachers got together to celebrate graduation from Shiksha Education Trust school. We counselled them about the importance of further education, with special mention of importance of educating the girls.
We also promised all assistance in helping them get admission into a new school. And in fact at any stage of life be it securing admission for higher studies, or vocational training after they complete schooling.
