Pratham – Every Child In School and Learning Well

Pratham is an innovative learning organization created to improve the quality of education in India. Established in 1995 to provide education to children in the slums of Mumbai, Pratham has grown in both scope and scale, with programs today reaching children and youth across the country.

As one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the country, Pratham focuses on high-quality, low-cost and replicable interventions to address gaps in the education system. Working directly with children and youth as well as through large-scale collaborations with government systems, Pratham programs reach millions of lives every year. Pratham's Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach has demonstrated proven impact on children's learning outcomes and is now being adapted to contexts outside India.

This year we tried to look at the festival of Holi through the eyes of its most creative enthusiasts - children! We asked what different colours mean to them, and they gave us lots of playful responses.

"People still do not associate women with a garage. They feel these jobs are not meant for us. But I am happy that I will change this perception", she says. We celebrate Rutuja's success and wish her all the best in her future endeavours! #InternationalWomensDay2022 #IWD

She adapted to the garage so well that her husband could open another garage in the city and spend half a day there while Rutuja attends to the customers here. "I can do a battery & horn check-up, change the break-line, and I am continuously learning new things", she says.
