grassroots education movement

With over 1,200 active volunteers and no physical classrooms, Pehchaan has supported 5,000+ slum children in Delhi through 10 years of learning. The initiative’s 94% pass rate shows what’s possible when consistent mentorship, peer learning, and community ownership come together to make education meaningful, flexible, and deeply rooted in impact.

Yuvaneshwari Kanagasabapathy and Ramana Madhavi Sankara founded Chotuu Ki Education (CKE) in Hyderabad to give street children a second chance through flexible and holistic learning. Their organisation helps marginalised kids build confidence, skills, and hope for a brighter future beyond begging and dropping out.
