Sowing The Seeds Of Peace And Compassion At A Young Age Through Values-Based Education

Mahatma Gandhi, known as the Father of the Nation, was born on 2nd October 1869. A man who dedicated his life to the nation and its people, also taught all the values of peace, truth, and compassion. Mahatma Gandhi also said, "Education is the basic tool for the development of consciousness and the reconstitution of society." On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, here’s mentioning the work and efforts of the e1e1 Foundation, an education NGO that closely resonates with Mahatma Gandhi’s outlook.

As we know, inculcating life values is an essential part of a child’s upbringing and it is best done when children are at a very young and mouldable age. Considering this institution takes in students only at grade 6 is an important factor, allowing children to be more receptive. At this age, children are considered to be easily moulded to any value, concept or idea of the society. Additionally, inculcating such values in children would result in a community filled with wise, compassionate, loving and helpful citizens, thereby bringing a sustainable and lasting change in the society at large.

Values-based education at e1e1 Foundation

e1e1 Foundation was established in 2014 with the objective to provide quality and values based education to the rural, underprivileged children. This education NGO is spread across 20 districts of three states. It has 27 campuses and is currently nurturing 3,000 students. The three Edu-Care Programmes of this education NGO are:

• Each One Educate One: This programme is designed to provide quality based holistic education to students from 6th grade to higher secondary education with all costs covered.
• Each One Embrace One: A program designed to take complete care of the student from boarding, lodging, education and basic daily requirements.
• Each One Higher Educate One: This programme offers graduate, post-graduate and Ph.D courses to students, enabling them to be competent and independent citizens of the country.

The e1e1 campuses provide the following to all the students:

• End to end care

Though I was good at studies, I knew this meant an end to my dream of studying further. But thanks to the support I received from e1e1 Foundation, not only could I continue my studies, but it was all free of cost too. In addition, my father got a job in the campus kitchen as a Head Cook and life has never been better than this for us.
