Pehchaan
Bridging the Gap
What is Pehchaan?
Pehchaan is an initiative of the KurNiv Foundation.
Pehchaan’s education objective is to bridge the gap of inequitable education between the public and private sector schools in India in such a way that we:
-
Create camaraderie and friendship among different factions of society who would have otherwise not come together, regardless of income, living conditions or educational background.
-
Create a greater interest in students completing 10th standard from municipal schools to complete junior college successfully and then move on to further studies or a lucrative vocational practice.
-
Create a greater understanding among the public at large about the gap in education between municipal school education and private school education in India.
-
Create awareness among the public at large about what they can do, at their individual level, to step into bridging this gap between the public and private sectors of education.
Why Pehchaan?
We at Pehchaan want to shift the dialogue. We want to move from discussing the problem to discussing viable, and sustainable solutions, which can lead us productively forward.
We are interested in:
-
Productively presenting the challenges that exist today between the public and private sector of education.
-
Creating solutions, which can help bridge the gap that exists today between the public and private sectors of education.
-
Inspiring all members of our community to step into the solution at their level, thereby claiming back their power to create the India they would most ideally like to live in.
