Building the Community Education System
Community Learning Centres are designed to provide supplementary, community-based educational support through alternative pedagogical approaches. These centres complement the formal education system by engaging children in creative learning activities that promote cognitive development, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. At the same time, they foster socio-culturally rooted learning, helping children build confidence and strengthen their psychosocial well-being.
The initiative which has been financially supported by Samatvam Trust has been implemented through 20 Community Learning Centres in Barabanki district, Uttar Pradesh
