Isha Vidhya transforms the lives of underprivileged rural children by making a holistic, high quality, English-medium education accessible and affordable to them. Isha Vidhya runs several schools in villages and plans to build many more to demonstrate that high quality education can be delivered to the poorest in rural areas in a sustainable manner on a large scale.
Using this learning, interventions are also being carried out by adopting Govt. schools to enhance the quality of education in these schools through addition of teachers to fill critical gaps, English language training, introduction of sports, yoga, arts, etc to make the education in Govt. schools more interesting and holistic.
