Welcome to Prajayatna

Prajayatna is a development initiative working to improve the quality of education in public schools.

From a systems perspective, this initiative attempts to address quality in Education through facilitating capabilities based learning paradigm in Government schools with the active involvement of the local communities, teachers, local elected representatives Panchayati Raj structures and the Education Bureaucracy ensuring both-better management of the schools and better delivery of quality education from these schools.

Profile

Prajayatna has been working for more than 15 years in bringing about a systemic change in the functioning of the education system and thereby ensure quality education to all children. The work has involved working intensively with communities and all concerned stakeholders.

Evolution

Prajayatna started as a program of MAYA (Movement for Alternatives and Youth Awareness), which had been working since 1989 on the issue of child labour. Having spent its initial years campaigning against the issue, direct interventions were initiated with the children and communities in the urban slums and low-income areas in Bangalore Urban and Rural districts.

Approach

While the problems are many and systemic in nature, we at Prajayatna believe that the lack of community ownership is the key issue….

Reach

Reached out to 25000 schools and 1500 anganwadis covering nearly 12,000,00 of children through various direct and indirect interventions to ensure quality education for all children.
