#Disocover Culture
Our organization celebrates individuality and socio-cultural diversity, creating spaces where young people lead with compassion and work together for grassroots change.
Our journey began in 2017, well before formal registration as a youth-led movement of 30 volunteers supporting the social and educational development of children in Pune’s slum communities. From this early idea, we have grown into a people-powered movement of hundreds of youth, creating meaningful impact across two cities and five extended states.
This growth has been organic and purpose-driven, shaped not by scale alone but by values. At the heart of our movement lie equity, empathy, leadership, and belonging. We believe everyone is a leader, and collective growth is a shared responsibility, strengthening communities from the ground up through learning, leadership, and collective action.
#Guiding Philosophy Behind Movement
The classroom learning experience plays a decisive role in shaping a child’s future for the self, for society, and for the nation. Beyond academic outcomes, classrooms are where children form their values, attitudes, and sense of responsibility toward the world around them.
When learning experiences are nurturing, purposeful, and holistic, they transform children into confident leaders grounded in humanitarian values, responsible leadership, and a shared commitment to collective empowerment. Yet, this holistic development is largely missing in today’s education system, particularly for children from under-resourced communities.
We believe youth are uniquely positioned to bridge this gap. Passionate and empathetic young leaders act as mentors, facilitators, and role models, guiding students from vulnerability to becoming empowered, responsible citizens of the nation.
At Shikshanganga, we intentionally design and nurture joyful, meaningful classroom experiences through structured support rooted in holistic youth development. By integrating academic learning with social, emotional, and leadership development, we create classrooms that do more than educate; they shape individuals who are prepared to lead with purpose and strengthen society from the grassroots.
Alignment with it is essential for everyone who joins us as volunteers, staff, partners, or donors as it guides every program, decision, and action across the organization.
