In line with the belief that strong infrastructural support at schools can help make the environment around children more conducive to learning and eliminate distractions, we undertake educational infrastructure interventions like building classrooms together with our partners at Round Table India. This helps improve the learning environment for children and teachers, and the impact is seen in increasing enrolments, better attendance, reducing dropouts, driving lesson efficiency for teachers, encouraging students, and therefore, overall higher learning level. Over the years, P&G Shiksha and Round Table India have constructed thousands of classrooms across the country, impacting lakhs of underserved children.
During early childhood when brain development is at its highest point, nurturing appropriate developmental skills has been closely linked with positive outcomes, including improved school readiness, increased knowledge retention, and holistic growth of the child. To enable this, we partner with Pratham Education Foundation for our Early Childhood Education program dedicated to children aged 3-6 years. This program focuses on developing motor, cognitive, social emotional, language and creative skills in children, thereby setting them up for a strong start as they begin their education journey. By leveraging various models partnering with states, ranging from in-school, Anganwadi-led, and a unique, first-of-its-kind model involving mothers as volunteers, the program leverages activity-based pedagogy.
