Through this Project, the aim is to create a valuable impact in the lives of children who are deprived of quality education and provide necessary certification and training ranging from personality development to top skills in sports, business, health and nutrition and MS Office proficiency to make an individual student employable and skilled.
The trust has tied up with Champ for Life Academy, a fully integrated online education platform to provide modules and contents of the courses via digital learning tools curated by the industry experts. In the first phase of this project, around 500 – 800 children from various NGOs, slum schools and sports academies will be provided the educational support.
Using the edge of technology and connectivity, Saibaba Sevashram & Yoga Research trust aims to support more than 10,000 children across NGO schools, slums and villages: starting with Bengal and then extending its reach in the country.
The motive of the trust is to bring a developmental change for these children by not only using unconventional learning modes but also by educating practices towards a healthier lifestyle and training and mentoring them to develop themselves as a champion in the society.
