Empowering Rural Communities Through Education
In a significant step towards fostering a vibrant and inclusive nation, Janmitra Nyas and the Shiv Nadar Foundation launched the innovative Shiksha+ Project, aimed at advancing adult literacy in rural communities. The project commenced with the distribution of 19 laptops and projectors to community educators in a ceremony held at Kathirav Panchayat Bhavan in Baragaon Block. This initiative is in line with India’s commitment to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 5 (Gender Equality), while contributing to nation-building.
The Shiksha+ Project empowers 2,500 learners across Kathirao and Barji villages in Varanasi, integrating digital tools, modern methodologies, health awareness, financial literacy, and government schemes. This program targets marginalized communities, particularly women and vulnerable groups, fostering inclusive development and building an empowered citizenry for sustainable growth.
