Since April '03 till now (i.e. August 2010),
we have a total of 36 class groups with about 760 children
and a staff strength of 175 committed people working to
make the Shikshantar reality happen on a day-to-day basis.
The
eighth school year at Shikshantar commenced for
children on 22nd March 2010.
Shikshantar
began its first school year on the 2nd of April,
2003 for children enrolled in Playgroup, Nursery, Kindergarten
and Class I. To celebrate the day, Shikshantar planted
a banyan tree in the rear portion of the primary block.
Planted by the Shikshantar team, the children and the
parents, the event was symbolic of the first step taken
together by the growing Shikshantar family.
As
another year progresses and as we build the school from
strength to strength, Shikshantar continues to plan meaningful
events for children to experience the wonder of discovering
life and the joy of sharing.
