E ducational
Education is a birthright, and at Educational Outreach, we teach underprivileged children cultural skills and morals to help the realize their full potential. We strive to expand possibilities, empower children to shape their future, and foster dreams for a better tomorrow.
Initiatives
Open Learning Initiative (OLI)
OLI is a You Tube channel that was launched by NSS, IITB to ensure that language does not become a barrier in education. With educational videos recorded by our volunteers (mostly UG students in their first, second or third years) in regional languages, we aim to make the Internet equally useful for students who don't study in English medium schools.
Prayog
Prayog was started with a belief that science is better understood by demonstration. Our aim is to instill scientific temperament among the students by the means of simple, yet interesting and informative scientific experiments. The students get a chance to perform the experiments themselves after the demonstration. Also, care is taken to ensure that the experiments are performed with readily available apparatus so that the students can easily replicate them when they go home.
Voice for Purpose
Voice for Purpose is an initiative aimed at providing quality audiobooks for the visually impaired community via our YouTube channel which has increased the accessibility of these audiobooks and facilitate their distribution. We are currently focusing on providing literature ( both Hindi and English), and have launched new genres like Travel Diaries ( to provide picturesque descriptions of places which the visually impaired cannot see themselves) and Current Affairs ( with the aim to provide information about the world affairs).
Adult Literacy Programme
This program was started on the request of security guards to teach them the basics of English. We have come a long way since then and ALP has been extended to mess workers. We have even expanded the curriculum to make it more relatable to the workers' needs. We now have included basic mathematics and basic knowledge (going cashless, how to fill forms etc ) for the benefit of the workers. Currently, mess workers and canteen workers in Hostels - 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 15 are benefiting from this program. .
Neem School
"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. - Aristotle While most schools do serve their purpose by educating the kids, somehow Value Education is something that is missed out. We were introduced to this idea by WhiteSwan Neem School foundation, a Delhi based organisation, who wanted to start neem schools in Mumbai. After proper induction and training, we took this initiative up. Currently we are functioning in Aman Day Care Centre (inside IIT Bombay campus).
Muskaan
Muskaan was started with the aim of training children in cultural activities like dance and fine arts thus, contributing towards their all-round development. Their efforts were showcased through a dance performance for All NSS Meet and through a fine arts submission for Kaladarshan 2019. Muskaan sessions are held every Sunday.
NGO Volunteering
Teaching can be considered as the foundation stone of Educational Outreach. Our volunteers visit various NGOs in and around the campus to teach the students enrolled there. Visit the partner NGOs page to know more about the NGOs. The volunteers teach various subjects including maths, science, language, economics, business studies, etc.
