Akshar Gyaan is a simple effort to bring learning back into the lives of women and adolescent girls.
It is for those we call “Akshar Saathi” — women who, while fulfilling their family and social responsibilities, had to leave their education behind.
For many of them, education was not a choice — it was something they had to give up.
Through Akshar Gyaan, they get a chance to begin again: to understand basic literacy, and to live with confidence in society.
These centers are conducted in villages, neighborhoods, and cities.
A volunteer is selected from among the participants to run the center. Prachi Foundation supports them through regular training and visits.
The learning approach is learner-centered. Women can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and challenges, and learn in a comfortable and respectful environment.
This initiative is currently running in:
Each center has around 20 Akshar Saathi, and sessions are conducted in the evening so that women and adolescent girls can join after completing their daily responsibilities.
These centers are helping those who were once left behind in education to move forward again — with hope, confidence, and a willingness to learn.
Your support helps us train volunteers, provide materials, and keep evening classes running for Akshar Saathi across our operational villages.
