I have got to know the right way of teaching. I was using only rote learning methods before. After joining i-Saksham, I have become more confident and have found my true calling and working on it.

Growing potential and capabilities of young women
- the generation of today -
as lifelong leaders
Edu-leaders enrich learning experiences of children
– the generation of tomorrow –
for their lifelong success
Edu-leaders influence educational
practices through parental engagement
and learn to network for change
In the short-term, i-Saksham builds community edu-leaders under a 2-year fellowship program to empower others through education. These young women improve their subject knowledge, learn modern pedagogy tools (सीखें) and impart quality education to children by catering to multi-level learning needs (सिखाएं). Children achieve grade-appropriate competencies.
In the long-term, the fellowship program acts as a stepping-stone for young women to build their capabilities to pursue their aspirations, attain higher education, become a mainstream education professional or a long-term community change agent. From the sensitized youth of today, they become engaged parents of tomorrow, continuing to lead the change in the community.
Children demonstrate academic commitment and pursue learning with increased confidence. With their re-kindled passion for education, they serve as edu-leaders of tomorrow and emerge as self-reliant individuals.
The continuous demonstration of delivery of quality education in the marginalized communities infuse the belief that community participation can bring change and hence creates collective sense to take leadership.

i-Saksham changed my perception towards life and career. I am now more aware of the options available for me to pursue a good career. Earlier I used to think that getting a government job is the only thing for a successful life.

I really enjoy reading now as I am being taught with fun and activities. Earlier I was just copying things from black blackboard, but now I understand and learn.

I've learnt vegetable names in English. Sonam didi teaches with games and activities which I like the most.
