Every child has a right to meaningful and quality education in a positive learning environment.
The VISHWAS Vidyalaya is a recognized inclusive elementary school with nearly 300 students, at any given time, studying in grades between Nursery to VIII. Most of our students are first generation learners, coming from migrant communities marginalised by poverty and with little or no prior exposure to formal education. 17 percent of the students are children with disabilities.
The Vidyalaya aims for holistic and all round development of its students through a well balanced curriculum and by identifying and addressing barriers that prevent active learning and participation. Digital technology is used in classroom transactions and educational trips are organised to make learning more meaningful. Every effort is made by the school staff to provide a stimulating environment that includes a range of co-curricular activities such as sports, music, dance, arts and crafts.

Lakshya is a student of grade III and is a very keen learner. She is a single parent child as she has lost her father and is being brought up single handedly by her mother. Her mother is working with a small private company. Mother and daughter live in a small rented accommodation. Lakshya was an extremely shy, introvert girl initially and didn’t mingle in the class.

Kyra is a student of grade I. She has Autism and was a very hyper child when she joined Vishwas Vidyalaya, a year ago. She was extremely restless and would refuse to sit down in class, spit around, pull her own hair. She made no eye contact, listen to any instructions and didn’t even eat her lunch. The perseverance of teachers and a friendly classroom atmosphere helped to bring about visible changes in her. She is happy sitting in the class, eating food with friends, has stopped spitting and pulling her hair now. She has started taking part in group activities and celebrations. Due to these social changes, a hidden talent was also discovered. She can write words in both directions. She tries to communicate with her friends.
