Education (AKSHAR):
Keeping in mind our government’s policy of Right to Education (RTE) EMCO has designed our initiatives under “Akshar” thro three approaches for the under privileged poor children from slums living in Mumbai and Jalgaon, Maharashtra.
Firstly, through’ “Shiksha” EMCO covers children aged 6 to 14 years with an objective to create interest in education and reduce dropouts by impressing the parents to educate their child and send them to schools.. For this we have adopted 70 slums in Thane and beyond and 20 slums in and around Jalgaon. More than 6500 slum children have benefited in English, Arithmetic and Marathi thro special teaching methods designed by Pratham, (well known NGO in this field) with the help of teachers selected from the same community and trained by Pratham and EF. Further every year uniforms, bags and shoes are distributed to 2000 primary children of Jalgaon Municipal Corporation schools.

Secondly, flagship program ‘Parivartan’ is benefiting municipal school children of Thane and Jalgaon and Maharana Pratap School in Jalgaon by enhancing their soft skills, personality development and English Speaking capacities. This project has benefited so far 12422 students of 8th, 9th and 10th Std. and this number is increasing every year. Through this programme the children from poor families build their self esteem and start believing in themselves and aspire and work towards their goals in life. Every opportunity is given to these children to express themselves and demonstrate their hidden talents through competitions, variety programmes and learn to manage themselves thro compeering in such programmes. Career guidance is given to all the 10th std students of these schools with the help of “young Buzz’ renowned name in this field.

First set of Yashasvi graduates will be passing out in June 2012.
Keeping in mind the social background of these children, EMCO has organized Tobacco awareness campaign and received tremendous response from students and teachers. More than 3300 students benefited with important information on adverse effects of tobacco on health. And vowed not to touch tobacco and some of them have even influenced their family members to give up tobacco chewing / smoking.
