STUDY/RESEARCH PROJECT

by JNU Doctoral Students

Quote- “For all children to have an equal chance to make the most of their potential, innovation must also meet the needs and advance the rights of those who have the least. In the light of this unfolding context, Ankur Computer Center (ACC) has positioned itself to provide a fair chance in discovering the potential of children from Delhi’s most deprived sections and making computer education accessible to them. It has stepped aside from the voluntary organizations usual mode of basic engagement with the children to a courageous approach of bringing technology within the easy reach of the children from the slums."

Dear partners,

Thank you again for your constant support. Project Ankur will not be where it is without your help.

We're always striving to reach the unreached and now have grown to 420 children and youth from surrounding bastis (slums).

Dear Partners,

We, at Project Ankur have resumed sessions for the new year with the objective of being able to reach further into the communities of our students with the goal of holistic change as always.

We were able to celebrate graduation day/Christmas on the 13th of December with most parents in attendance and were really glad to witness the transformation taking place due to the immense hard work and dedication of the staff, volunteers and our partners and donors.

We still have a long way to go and we encourage you to spread the word and continue supporting us in whatever way possible. We cannot do it without you.

Thanking you,
Project Ankur
