Educational Outreach

From the very beginning, we had determined that Pragat Shikshan Sanstha should not be merely an oasis in an educational desert, but a resource centre reaching out to other schools in the community and beyond. Accordingly, we began an educational outreach program in 1992, working with both municipal and Zilla Parishad schools. Since then, we have reached numerous community members, educators, schools, and anganwadis across various parts of Maharashtra and beyond through our interventions, courses, and training programmes.
