Why Aama Kritishaalaa?
Imagine this: You are a child attending school daily, but your teacher is often absent, and the classrooms lack basic amenities. The textbooks are confusing because you were never taught to read properly. Numbers and words seem like unsolvable puzzles. Eventually, you stop participating, stop trying, and start believing that learning isn't meant for you. What happens then? Do you continue, or do you give up?
For thousands of children in government and low-fee private schools, this is not just a challenge—it is their reality. Schools are where they spend most of their time outside their homes and where most of their learning should take place. However, inadequate infrastructure, high teacher absenteeism, and a lack of resources create deep learning gaps.
Despite this, no major local intervention was made in the slums of Khandagiri, Aiginia, Laxmisagar and Tapoban to bridge this learning gap.
