Sshrishti has been working in the field of Education since its inception in 2003. In course of its 15 years journey Sshrishti has expanded its base of operations to 8 learning centres in Delhi NCR that are providing holistic education from Classes Nursery to VI to nearly 1500 underprivileged children on a daily basis. Sshrishti operates across several states including Delhi NCR, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Punjab and has already impacted more than 11 lakhs deserving children, youth and women target beneficiaries.
Among our new educational initiatives is Sshrishti Ujjwal Learning Centre, located in Village Ullawas, Sector 61 Gurugram, Haryana. With a population of around 700 the community largely comprises of migrant families from the states of West Bengal and Bihar.
They reside in an isolated pocket of about 110 tin roofed kutcha hutments. They work as labourers at the several under construction sites for high rises that dot Gurugram and also as domestic helps in the developed colonies.
A lack of necessary identification and frequent migration causes the excluded community to remain devoid of primary civic amenities including health and education. They grapple with exploitation at the hands of slumlords or even their contractors or employers and live in the most deplorable conditions.
The community of Village Ullawas are in the age group of 20 - 40 years old with most of them having had early marriages and migrating to the city in search of better income opportunities. These labourers find it hard to earn a decent living to educate their children who are left unattended, when the women go to the neighbouring apartments as domestic help. Young girls are not sent to school and tend to their siblings when the parents go out for work. Undernourishment and ill-health of the children are other issues faced by the community.
Sshrishti Ujjwal is an urgent initiative to reach out to the neglected community and to mobilize them with the mission of ensuring quality education to every child.
The centre presently runs from an open ground space under a tree and caters for Nursery and remedial classes. Children from the age of 3 to 14 years come to this centre and enjoy learning through play. Books and learning material are provided along with provisions of biscuits twice in a week.
