Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future: J. F. Kennedy

The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country: Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

A person cannot live without sustenance, a place to sleep and protection of oneself from environmental conditions. We adopt children who are semi-orphans, challenged and economically backward and provide them with the basic necessities – free food, clothing and shelter and Education. In today’s world, Education has also become equally necessary. The key to leading a contented and prosperous life is education. It assists us in identifying our hidden abilities and talents, which we can use to advance our careers, find employment, ensure our promising future and thus remain self-sustained. Education provides knowledge, training and skills and inculcates new thoughts and insights among youngsters. It contributes to the development of both the individual and the community.

But our present educational system is not able to fulfil these objectives as most private and government institutions are not implementing what was initially promised and planned. Most of these institutions focus on completing the syllabus in time to get outstanding results through excellent scores and ranks. Unfortunately, their concentration is not on the holistic growth of an individual. Taking a holistic approach to education means focusing on all aspects of a child’s growth, including their social, emotional, physical, mental and intellectual growth. The grooming of an individual is incomplete without imparting values, skills and personality development, which aid in setting up their successful career and life.

We impart an educational approach that seeks to create a learning experience that will prepare students for the realities of the modern world and groom them to have the right attitude and behaviour to become good citizens of society. We hope to reach our goal by implementing our methods supplemented by our sincere efforts and valuable support from our contributors.

We provide special training in Karra Saamu for girls as part of self-defense skills in martial arts.

Tapasvi, with this ideology, aims to provide modern education to economically deprived, challenged and orphaned children by fostering critical thinking, life skills, value education, analytical skills and decision-making skills. Tapasvi’s initiative in implementing the ancient system of Gurukulam where a student starts the day with Surya namaskaras, yoga, and exercises, is a step towards the same. Our daily school routine starts with prayer, meditation, moral stories and motivational speeches. The regular academic curriculum is completed by noon, then post-noon sessions in mathematics, environmental sciences, communication skills, reading, listening, writing and speaking are held. We conduct weekend activities like quizzes, elocution, debate and intercultural programs. We also identify children’s talents and encourage and train them in their interests like drawing, dance, music, games, sports etc.

Today’s students often lack life skills as its not part of their academic syllabus. As such, post their education, most of them fail in real life because of a lack of confidence and knowledge about facing social challenges, resulting in compromised values that have a long-term effect on society. Only a few succeed owing to their exceptional intelligence or solid financial background. It is more than time that our education system needs a change.

We dream of seeing a day when no Indian child will be deprived of fundamental rights that cover their survival, participation, protection, and development.

We provide the basic necessities like FREE Food, Clothing and Shelter to our children.
