The NGOs shortlisted in the

EDUCATION category of the HCLTech

Grant employ exciting new methodologies

to increase access to quality education for

rural children or those in care institutions.

Some of the innovative projects for

this year include an engaging Maths

programme for government schools and

another using the arts to create wellbeing;

one that empowers educators for

inclusive learning, and one that recharges

anganwadis; a project that makes local

schools in remote places desirable for

parents, and another that educates

consumers on their rights and artistes

on how to leverage their crafts for socio-

economic empowerment. Their efforts

lead to holistic, long-lasting impact for

vulnerable communities and the children

of India.
