Bhavishya Yaan is a skills enhancement programme for
less privileged children studying at Municipal Schools has been acclaimed by
Rotary International as the most innovative project in the field of literacy.
The programme was first implemented by Rotary Club of Bombay in partnership
with Vidya, an NGO which has a track record of running educational institutes
for the less-privileged.
Our
Club is successfully running this programme at Dixit Road Municipal School in
Vile Parle East, Mumbai since 2011, funded by a UK based NGO. A batch of around 120 students are selected
from the V to VIII standard and given structured coaching for two years in
conversational English, Computer Education and Soft Skills outside their
regular school hours.
The
students who were part of this initiative have generally improved their
academic performance and have become either more employable or better equipped
to face the demanding challenges of a fruitful higher education. Deserving and
meritorious students have also been later given scholarships for further
studies to make them realize their dreams of a better future.
Encouraged by the
positive results, the Club commenced Bhavishya Yaan programme at Sane Guruji
Marathi Vidyamandir, Santacruz West, Mumbai in July, 2014. And in October
2017, it extended the Bhavishya Yaan programme to their primary section
