Open school | Mainstreaming Children | Remedial Classes
At Nai Disha, we ensure that children from underprivileged communities do not miss out on education due to socio-economic barriers. Our interventions focus on bridging learning gaps, mainstreaming children into formal schools, and sustaining their education through structured academic and holistic development programs.
Who We Support
Our education program caters to children across different stages of learning:
Early Learners (Primary Tutorial Program)
- Children enrolled in government schools and private schools (EWS quota)
- Intervention to bridge learning gaps and support academic progress
- Structured day program: Children come directly after school, have lunch, engage in activities, and attend tutorials
Children Who Cannot Be Mainstreamed (Open School Program)
- Migrant children and those who missed foundational years of schooling
- Saksharta Classes to prepare them for Class 8, 10, and 12 through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling)
- Self-paced learning through the Akshar-Matra Module, enabling quick academic recovery
Mainstream School Students (Mentoring & Academic Support)
- Children in government/private schools needing extra academic guidance
- Supported through Evening Tutorials, Annual Scholarships, and Care & Share Mentoring Programs
What We Do
1. Nai Disha Open School – A Second Chance at Education
For children who cannot enter or continue in mainstream schools, we offer:
- Saksharta Classes – Preparing students for Class 8, 10, and 12 through NiOS
- Akshar-Matra Module – A six-month accelerated learning cycle to bridge gaps
- Language & Literacy Support – Addressing challenges faced by migrant children
Without structured intervention, these children are at risk of being drawn into negative influences, labor, or unsafe environments. Nai Disha ensures they remain engaged in a safe, learning-focused space.
2. Primary Tutorial Program – Bridging Gaps in Government & EWS Schools
- A structured post-school routine – Children come directly from school, have lunch, play, and attend tutorial sessions
- Academic reinforcement – Helping children keep up with government and private (EWS) school curricula
- Guidance for parents – Reducing their dependency on unstructured local tuition options
3. Holistic Development – Learning Beyond Academics
Education at Nai Disha is not just about books—we ensure every child develops essential life skills through:
- Sports & Physical Activities – Taekwondo, skating, Football and Pickleball
- Weekend Chess & Cognitive Games – Enhancing critical thinking
- Experiential & Educational Trips – Real-world exposure to broaden horizons
- Creative & Vocational Training – Theatre, music, cookery, art, and more
These activities channel children’s energy positively, keeping them motivated and away from negative influences.
4. Mentoring & Sustained Support for Mainstreamed Children
Children from low-income families often lack academic guidance at home. Our Care & Share Mentoring Program helps them navigate:
- School subjects & academic decisions – Choosing subjects, identifying tuition support
- Emotional & social pressures – Building resilience in handling challenges
- Career guidance & life skills training – Preparing for higher education and job opportunities
We also provide Annual Scholarships to support deserving students in sustaining their education.
Challenges We Address
1. Floating Population & Learning Gaps
Frequent migration disrupts education, making continuity difficult. Our Open School model ensures children receive uninterrupted learning despite relocation.
2. Older Siblings Missing School Due to Family Responsibilities
- Many older children stay home to care for younger siblings while parents work.
- Some parents delay schooling for older children until younger ones can accompany them.
- Mothers, often unaware or helpless, struggle to prioritize education.
3. Lack of Awareness & Academic Guidance
Many first-generation learners and their parents are unaware of school systems, career paths, or support options.
