Supervised Homework Scheme

Our Supervised Homework Scheme provides academic assistance to underprivileged school-going children in Classes I to VIII, who cannot get this support at home. The objective is to help them improve their academic performance and prevent them from dropping out of school. We have been operating this scheme from 1958.

The programme currently runs in 12 of our centres across Delhi, and has an annual enrolment of over 400 children. The tutors are selected after proper evaluation. Additionally, university student volunteers help add value.

The performance of the students is continuously monitored to ensure that the scheme serves its purpose. Alongside academics, other activities include story-telling, reading, music, quizzes, sports etc for the holistic development of the children. A self-defence training is conducted annually. Parent-teacher meetings are held regularly. Depending on individual performance and family circumstances, some students are integrated into our Educational Sponsorship programme.

Case Study : Mansi

Mansi, joined our Supervised Homework Scheme in 2022 when she was in Class VI. She belongs to a family that migrated from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi in search of better opportunities. The father works as a roadside tailor, and is the sole breadwinner. Her mother expired in 2023 due to illness. Mansi has three siblings.

When she joined our centre, Mansi was good in languages but found mathematics as well as fluency in reading very difficult. Over the next two years she showed great improvement, and stood 2nd in her Class VII exa/minations scoring 80% marks.

Mansi is also a keen participant in all the co-curricular activities conducted at the centre, her school and in the community. She dances well and has also bagged a prize for football in matches organised in the community.

For her outstanding overall performance, she was selected to take part in the national “Learn to Live Together” camp organised in Mohali. She not only participated in all the activities but also won a gold medal in collage-making.

We hope she continues to go forward with the same zest and enthusiasm!
