Neev Shikshan Sanstha is dedicated to promoting effective educational practices that enhance learning opportunities for children throughout Gujarat. We contextually design and implement impactful educational programmes that strengthen Foundational Literacy and Numeracy in classrooms. By working closely with educators and community stakeholders we promote holistic and conducive learning experiences. Through our initiatives, we strive to bridge educational gaps and nurture the potential of every child for a brighter future.
We are on a mission aligned with National Education Policy 2020 and NIPUN Bharat mission of Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN).
“A” for Apple, “B” for Ball, “C” for... and so it goes. Why can’t our minds come up with anything other than an apple for “A”? We are taught that the colour of the sky is blue. Haven’t we seen a pink sky too?
Concepts learnt at school remain so deeply ingrained in our brains that we can seldom think beyond the usual or obvious. The education system, as it stands in India, does not encourage the development of inquisitiveness amongst children. Teachers, who are a wondrous source of knowledge, deliver standardised and outdated content, which neither equips students to explore the “why” behind concepts, nor to think out-of-the-box.
With a quest to expand the horizon of possibilities for tender minds, we at Neev Shikshan Sanstha, Gujarat set out on an exciting journey in 2019. We revisited two central thought-streams in the field of education – the first regarding the language, and the second regarding the tools of delivery of Foundational Education. Our Pilots and experiments led us to the design programs that deliver fun-based experiential learning in the native language of the child. At its core, the programs have a “child first” philosophy.
Neev Shikshan Sanstha’s Engage, Enable, Empower (3E) program aims to strengthen to Anganwadi Workers, Anganwadi Helpers, and Pre-School Education Instructors (PSEI) by building their skills through regular workshops and capacity-building activities.
The two-year Flagship Program is about teachers on a journey of unlearning and re-learning through continuous professional growth, reflection, and change. Rooted in the belief that curiosity, thinking and imaginative abilities of a child is laid early on resulting into a grown-up individual who is better prepared for questioning, problem solving, reasoning and meaning making.
Pankhkriti, an initiative by Neev Shikshan Sanstha, is a low-cost, handmade Teaching Learning Material (TLM) kit aligned with the nursery to Grade 2 curriculum. More than just a learning kit, Pankhkriti is a gentle companion that sparks curiosity, creativity, and independent thinking through hands-on, screen-free activities. Designed to help children observe, imagine, question, and discover, it builds confidence while nurturing a lifelong love for learning. Pankh also supports teachers and parents with simple, joyful tools that make early learning meaningful and manageable.
