Practice Tests for Municipality
and Government School
The Practice Papers is an educational project undertaken by Mindstix Foundation Trust where we launched questionnaires and revision sheets for school students from 7th-10th Grade. We adopted a Tr-Linguistic approach where we made papers in Hindi, Marathi and English. This free of cost academic service provided papers covering important syllabus in all Science, Maths and English. The access to this facility is being provided through schools and till date. We have managed to provide access to these papers across 40 Municipal Schools across Thane city. The benefits of this particular project were as follows:
-
Assess the understanding of the students for a given chapter
-
Assist the students for revision of a chapter
-
Help the students to monitor their overall progress
Abhyasika
One of the important projects among our various ongoing projects is free Abhyasika for school students. We are currently conducting Abhyasika sessions in 26 Municipal Corporation schools in Thane and around 1300 students have benefited from it. These study classes are especially beneficial for students who are distracted at home while studying. We have collaborated with Municipal schools wherein we organize Abhyasika sessions daily for 2 hours within the school premises. Students who find it difficult to study at home due to various reasons can engage in productive discussions relating to academics in schools itself. Through Abhyasika, We aim to inculcate a very holistic system of education with an inclusive approach where every student gets equal benefits exposure to expand the horizon of their knowledge.
Preparatory Classes for Students appearing for Government Scholarship exams
We created batches of students from economically weaker sections and engaged them in numerous forms of tutoring especially for the development of their academic skill set to crack the state-board Scholarship Examinations for 5th and 8th Grade Students. Scholarship examinations make educational journeys of the students belonging to the economically constrained sections easy as it benefits them on the basis of merit. Access to a chance to crack these examinations simply gives them a fair opportunity to excel.
Tutoring for Rural Schools
During the Pandemic period, we have run 30 schools for free at various locations in rural India where regular schools did not exist. Post lock down, we continued tutoring such school students. These schools are spread across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Assam, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh benefiting more than 1000 students till date.
CARE (Community Action and Resource Empowerment)
CARE was a youth-driven project with extensive ground work and social outreach. A group of 15 volunteers conducted this project by registering workers of the unorganized sector under the Ayushman Bharat Healthcare Abhiyan (ABHA) and the pension scheme of the government of India, Eshram. Under the ABHA scheme, health cards were issued for the beneficiaries through which they could have access to subsidized healthcare and access to PHR- Personal Health Records. The Eshram Card allows them to get access to monthly pension schemes where they receive an amount of 3000 Indian Rupees after the age of 60. The volunteers were able to reach out of about 800-1000 workers and this project was a major social outreach success.
Skill development
We organize Skill Development training for Women across India. Training is provided to women from economically weaker sections in skills like Beautician, Bakery, Mehdi and Tailoring. Till date we have trained more than 3000 women from more than 11 States (Maharashtra, Assam, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal and Rajasthan. We intend to reach out to all the States in India. We also organize basic computer training (Computer literacy) for youth and women who cannot afford such training. Till date, we have provided such training to around 200 individuals.
Research programs
Lately we have been working on certain research projects where we have been making a database about all the important scholarships that are offered by universities and colleges for their undergraduate and postgraduate programs. We realize the amount of deprivation students have from general scholarship information when they apply for colleges after their matriculation level academics and thus creating a database of all scholarships, their eligibility, requirements and application processes becomes easy for students to navigate through the same. The scholarship database includes government-based scholarships too which can aid individuals of backward backgrounds to get subsidized education and equal opportunities.
