Every child deserves the opportunity to be a winner, yet all children are not given this opportunity. In India, so many underprivileged children are confronting such obstacles that hinder their pursuit of goals because of poverty, lack of quality education, and proper health care. The challenges create a cycle of disadvantage that is tough to break. But do not lose hope, Parmartham is here to make a difference in the lives of these underprivileged children by providing free holistic education.
Now, this blog will elaborate on how this organization, Parmartham, transforms life through a whole education system to create a better future for these children. So let's dive into the blog ASAP!
An Insight into Holistic Education
Holistic education is a comprehensive approach where the focus is beyond academics. It is all-rounded development in which intellectual growth along with social, physical, and ethical well-being forms part of holistic education. This system grooms every bit of a child's personality to develop a complete individual to confidently face life's challenges and struggles with courage.
While traditional education focuses on academic achievement, grades, exams, and standardized testing, holistic education holds that learning is multi-dimensional, valuing creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and moral development as much as academic success. In this way, it prepares the child not only to succeed in school but also to emerge as a responsible, caring, and capable adult.
Welcome to Parmartham
Parmartham is an NGO established for providing free education to unprivileged children. Not only this, at our Seva Sansthan-the education goes beyond classrooms. We want to help these unprivileged children develop and grow in all spheres of their lives and make wise decisions.
There are, in particular, the following projects at Parmartham: Sanskar Kendra, Saksham Bharat, and Utsah. All these projects have been developed to focus on the various aspects of children: moral, ethical, academics, and mind management. Foremost, Parmartham is guided by several stalwarts like Mr. Ankush Tambi, Mr. Sanjay Khandelwal, and Dr. Disha Bhanushali who come with a lot of experience for our cause and make sure that their expertise and commitment keep us attuned to meeting the immediate needs of each and every child. Together, allow them to be prepared for a successful and independent life.
Holistic Education at Parmartham
Parmartham's approach to holistic education focuses on unleashing every child's full potential. We have implemented a variety of programs that cater to different aspects of a child's development. Let's discuss in brief:
- Academic Support: In our Seva Sansthan, poor students are given academic support along with competitive exam preparation like NEET, IIT, JEE, and many more. Our focus is to give underprivileged children free educations to make them academically strong enough to reach their desired career goals. Accordingly, we make tailored programs for the children to suit the strength and weaknesses of a child. The Seva Sansthan provides all possible facilities, a better atmosphere, and an amiable environment, which motivates the child to devote his time to studies with proper growth in academics.
With proper guidance and support, we are paving the way to success for them in education and in turn, helping them build a better future.
- Moral and Ethical Education: Education in Parmartham is not confined to textbooks. Much emphasis is laid on moral and ethical education for the instillation of a sense of right and wrong in children. We teach them honesty, kindness, respect, and many more values through lessons and activities. This will be the foundation that guides them in making positive choices and being responsible and compassionate.
- Cultural Education: The roots of cultural heritage are important in the development of identity. At Parmartham, we have cultural education interwoven into our programs, which allows children to connect with their roots and traditions. We make them proud of their cultural identity through traditional arts, music, and storytelling. This connection not only enriches their lives but also fosters a sense of belonging and community.
- Physical and Mental Well-being: Our Seva Sansthan has a specially designed program to promote the physical and mental well-being of these underprivileged children. Further, we promote physical health through regular exercise, sports, and activities that keep children active and fit. In addition to physical well-being, we also focus on mental health.
We teach children how to handle stress and stay focused, and have a positive outlook on life with the help of mindfulness activities such as yoga and meditation. We care for the body and mind to produce healthy and resilient individuals.
- Community Engagement and Involvement: We often involve such children in community engagement. All together, we are taught the importance of giving something to society. Further, this participation in community activities develops the ability to co-op, social responsibilities, sense of belonging, and a spirit of shared purpose among children. Besides, our program regarding community engagement helps these children be recognized as responsible citizens who contribute to the goodness of society and the community as a whole.
