To Learn & Earn are the Highlights for Grown ups.
 
CAREER-ORIENTED PROGRAMME FOR WEAKER SECTIONS
(including Minorities) : It is an unique opportunity specially for Backward states and remote areas.
   
Distance Counseling :
 
Particularly in remote areas of Rural and Urban India ,Child-labour is very common, just to earn for the family. Even ‘Shaksharta', ‘Stat Shiksha' and ‘Sarva Shiksha' Abhiyan, have failed to motivate them for regular class-attendance. Therefore it is necessary to campaign and persuade poor Parents by way of counseling and campaigning for regular attendance, selection of streams, institution and career-choice, that needs expert guidance, which Trust is capable to offer.
 
Talent-Search Programme under Joint sponsorship, Public-Private (including government schemes) :
 
It is to spot-out the intelligent and willing one's in different age-groups: Primary level (Class III to V ),Secondary level (class VI to VIII ) and Higher-secondary level ( class IX to XI ) for offering incentive-based education i.e. (i) Cash award (ii) Merit certificate and (iii) Admission support to educational institutions of moderate means. The modus – operande includes Oral test for junior classes and both Written test and Personal interview for higher sections, standard of test to conform to classes covered. The Merit-list of Awardees is to be based on the combined performance.
   
Cultural Revolution :
 
Particularly the backward regions need cultural change, a revolutionary spirit from child-hood, leaving their social ills of wasteful drinking, dancing and belief in taboos, by meaningful persuasion. They need to become inquisitive of literacy and education and better exposed for their well-being and to join the main-stream of developing world. Existence of SC, ST schools along with Anganwari, Sarva Shiksha, Stat Shiksha Abhiyan and Shaksharta Mission programmes, these have failed to adequately meet the required educational/skill-oriented status for employment. A cultural revolution is essential through (i) Play-schools or Kids corners ( 3 years to 5 years ), (ii) Mobile schools (above 6 years) at door-step for working and drop-outs, (iii) Localised and Mobile Libraries to support education system, (iv) Technical training (above 14 years) and Students Exchange programme of 3/4 weeks, twice a year for wider exposure through inter-action with status-schools.
 
Job-oriented Technical Training :

Incentive-based Technical/Vocational/Professional Education :
 
Monetary incentive i.e. financial support to the willing students on regular basis for undergoing technical, vocational and professional courses will make a mark for the state's prosperity. Going beyond marks-percentage selection, in practice, needs specific mechanism through an impartial and independent agency.
   
Adopt-a-Child Programme :
 
Keeping in view the unaffordable means of Poor parents for their children's education, Foundation proposes to promote ‘Adopt-a-Child' programme. This will promote Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Shaksharta mission and Stat Shiksha karyakram.

Training of Library Incharge: Present Scenario and Foremost requirement:
 
Welfare and empowering the people is Government's obligation, accordingly Literacy and Educational programmes have top-priority. To support it, Libraries (Pustakalayas ) are being set-up in remote areas in each State. If these Libraries are to become functional to serve the local mass and encourage them for full utilization, Library Incharges need formal training and this Foundation may extend Door-step training at highly concessional charge.
