Shiksha Vikas & Digital Education Empowerment Programme
A 12-month, ₹35,00,000 education intervention for children and adolescents from underserved communities — foundational learning, digital literacy, STEM, life skills and community engagement, submitted by Shivba Social Foundation.
A structured intervention, not a scattered set of activities
Shivba Social Foundation proposes to implement a comprehensive Shiksha Vikas & Digital Education Empowerment Programme to improve access to quality education, strengthen foundational learning, promote digital literacy, and build communication and life skills for children and adolescents from economically and socially disadvantaged communities.
The project targets students facing limited access to digital resources, inadequate learning support, poor foundational skills, weak educational infrastructure, limited career guidance and low exposure to modern learning methods — combining academic support, digital education, smart learning, library development, STEM activities, teacher capacity building, career counselling, material support, life-skills education and community engagement across a single 12-month cycle.
About Shivba Social Foundation
Shivba Social Foundation works toward inclusive social development by creating opportunities for children, youth and communities through education, awareness, skill development and capacity-building initiatives. The Foundation seeks to promote an environment in which children can learn effectively, develop confidence, and acquire the knowledge and skills required for higher education, employment and responsible citizenship.

Sustainability plan
- Community ownership — parents, teachers and community members are involved in planning and monitoring.
- Teacher capacity — trained teachers create internal capacity that outlasts the funding period.
- Digital & library resources — facilities remain available for continued educational use.
- Local partnerships — with schools, institutions, volunteers and stakeholders.
- Volunteer network — local volunteers and educators support activities beyond the project period.
Gender inclusion & child safeguarding
The project promotes equal opportunity for girls, boys, children from economically weaker families, first-generation learners and students from underserved communities — with special efforts to encourage girls’ participation in digital education, STEM and career guidance.
All activities involving children follow appropriate child-safeguarding practices: safe learning spaces, respectful teacher–student interaction, non-discrimination, privacy of student information, safe digital practices, responsible photography/documentation, and clear grievance mechanisms.
Aligned to national and global development priorities
The project is designed as an education-focused social development programme and can be structured for consideration under applicable CSR priorities relating to education, vocational skills, special education and livelihood-enhancing opportunities — subject to the eligibility and due-diligence requirements of the prospective corporate partner.
