What is SuVidya?
SuVidya, our educational intervention offers a well rounded affordable education for every child. SUKRUPA Education Centre and Chitkala are two educational programs of SuVidya.
SUKRUPA Education Centre provides quality English medium education to 500 children from pre-school to 10th grade.
Chitkala: We are in the process of separating preschool from SUKRUPA Education Centre and set it up as Chitkala that includes play school, nursery, LKG and UKG.
Who is it for?
Our focus is children from less privileged backgrounds. However our high quality innovative method of learning is for children from all backgrounds.
What's our philosophy?
We see education as a preparation for life. As such, our children receive a well-rounded education that comprises academics, life skills, creativity, proper food and exercise, and basic health care, all in a clean, friendly and happy environment.
What's the goal?
To help students successfully complete the SSLC tenth grade exam, thus paving the way for them to enter some of the best colleges and universities.
How are we different?
We understand most of our students are first-generation learners. So we place an emphasis on a balanced education that nurtures their grades as well as other interests. The idea is to help them discover their strengths, so they can explore options hitherto unknown to them – for themselves, their families, and the community.
What's the curriculum like?
The academic foundation is received through science, mathematics and social studies. Language studies build a foundation in English, Kannada, and Hindi. Creativity is nurtured through fine arts, theatre, music, dance, and craft. Life skills are imparted through games and value education. In addition, high school children are taught vocational skills in carpentry, jewelry making, vegetable carving, video making and many more. We also foster clubs around science, math, humanitarian concerns, organic farming, literature, and history to show children how classroom learning impacts everyday life.
Where are we headed?
In the next five years we aim to make quality education affordable to two thousand students. We wish to groom more and more children from economically backward families. We also want to foster a culture of strong women; who are aware, independent, confident and creative so they can positively impact their families, our communities and the globalized world.
How is SuVidya implemented?
Optimal education
We believe in optimally educating our children. Factors we look into are: 1) understanding a child's academic potential, 2) imparting social skills, 3) character building, 4) broadening their horizons.
Ideal learning space
We create an ideal learning space that takes care of their learning needs and also grooms their personalities.
Responsive learning
We are working towards implementing a learning stream that’s based on children’s unique talents, and also enables them to appreciate the importance of happiness.
Multi-dimensional, goal-oriented learning
Subjects are taught with activities that allow children to understand their skills better. They are then encouraged to set goals and work towards them with discipline. Then they are primed to find their purpose and give back to their communities.
