Making Children Smart & Confident

    Description
    Description
    Being from a war-torn area students here suffer in getting proper academic education. They somehow pursue the studies but lack the soft skills like public speaking, writing skills, aptitude, quant, etc. We have started this initiative in rural district Bandipora of Jammu & Kashmir, India. We aim to make children smart & confident by developing their Personality, Emotional Intelligence & Intelligence Quotient. Students from Kashmir lack exposure & soft skills and this initiative is to impart these skills in our children apart from academic education
    Expected Impact

    We have tied up 30 schools for now & growing. We have permission from all the concerned authorities to carry out our initiative freely. We go to schools on a regular basis deliver lectures to students & make then do activities. <br />
    Besides we hold a yearly olympiad named District Science & Creativity Olympiad to keep a check on the students whether they are improving or not.<br />
    OUR MISSION<br />
    To make children competent and confident to face the world by developing PERSONALITY + EQ (Emotional Quotient) + IQ (Intelligence Quotient)<br />
    85% of financial success is determined by a good personality.<br />
    Many schools are focussed on marks only and are not doing enough for personality development.<br />
    Parents do not have adequate time and techniques for teaching these skills.<br />
    For now, we are convincing children as well as parents that it is not only academics which your children needs. He/She also needs to learn other life skills. We have been successful in doing this till now and are getting a good response day by day.<br />
    After that, we will be providing regular sunday classes to students

    Governed

    We have formed a team from some NGOs & Institutes which govern & manages the whole initiative. The team Comprises of one Chief Coordinator,<br />
    8 Coordinators And 30 volunteers. We have identified 30 schools both government & private based. We have taken permission from all the government authorities to carry out this initiative, so we are able to go to schools and deliver lectures, activities through our volunteers. The coordinators are the incharges of one department each, surveillance, examination, management, accounts, coordination with schools, assignments respectively.<br />
