The project is not just aimed at making the lives of children easier, but also that of the parents, primary caregivers, and educators. We have piloted this project in Delhi, Jaipur, Baroda, and now in Pune in the first year and hope to take this forward in more locations in the future.”

    Extending beyond the classroom, Sugamya Qissa Pitara supports parents and caregivers with new books, activity sheets, and specialized training by Inclusive Learning Experts.
