  Field Visit - Sikligar Communities

  Nishkam remains steadfast in its mission to educate the Sikligar community's students. In line with our commitment:

  Field Visits: We recently organized field visits to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Karnataka  regions of our project's outreach.

  
  Student Engagement: It's heartening to report that a significant number of our beneficiary students are actively attending classes. During our visits, we had the opportunity to engage directly with the students, teachers, and school principals. These interactions allowed us to discuss academic performance and offer essential moral support.

  
  Moral Education: Our dedicated moral education teachers have played a pivotal role, not only in teaching but also in connecting with the families of our students. The team had one-on-one interactions with many families, reinforcing the importance of education and our commitment to their children's future.

  
  Reinforcing Progressive Education: These consistent and frequent visits highlight our proactive approach to adopting progressive educational methodologies. It ensures that we are always aligned with our objectives, and there are no gaps in coordination or implementation, ensuring the project's sustainability.

  Stationery kits distributed to Sikligar chidren

  Education is every child’s birthright. Unfortunately, there are many kids who go to school but do not get basic stationery, such as notebooks, pencils, erasers, pens, color boxes, school bags, etc. With your help and the support of local volunteers, we distributed these kits to the less privileged Sikligar students at Bagpat, Uttar Pradesh. The students are also attaining their school studies through Nishkam's Sikligar education initiative. The stationery kits fulfil their annual requirements.
