Background of identified children

Umang Foundation has identified more than 16000 students who belong to SC / ST category of society and belongs to a family of daily wagers or home-maid who resides in slums of Ulhasnagar, Kalyan Ambernath, Kalwa of Thane District. Although these children are enrolled in school(s) but due to lack of the requisite education material like basic stationery material, these children are compelled to manage their entire academic year with as little as one or two notebooks for all their subjects for the entire year!!

Team Umang has witnessed instances of these children dropping out from the school due to scarcity of means to buy new notebooks. This, the effort is to equip these children -the future of India with basic educational material to ease out the scarcity at a fundamental level.

Impact of Umang Foundation's approach

Umang Foundation has been successful in bringing down the number of drop outs which were witnessed due to non-availability of resources post its initiative Promote Education -'ek kadam ujwal bhavisya ki aur'. This has encouraged donors and resulted in the continued progressive distribution trend of Umang Foundation. In last 5 years of this project Team Umang has witnessed many students who were struggling to get new notebooks earlier but now they are happily and regularly coming to the school.

Umang Foundation would need at least 48 lacs to provide complete stationery kits to 16,000 less fortunate students in June 2013 with the New Academic Year.

Impact:
Feedback from school teacher of "Matoshri Ramabai Ambedkar Vidyalaya" where Umang Foundation has been providing stationery material for last 3 years:
Principal of Matoshri Ramabai Ambedkar Vidyalaya, Ulhasnagar - Mr Gokul T. Pawar said
"Students are able to have meticulous and organized structure of their education; this clearly contributes to a high morale of a happy child pleased to have the facility and being away from the feeling of deprivation. Students are happy that they are having separate notebooks for each subjects, they can now maintain their class work neat and clean in separate subject notebooks.
Umang Foundation has changed the way student look at their school, Umang Foundation has facilitated more than 35 schools in Ulhasnagar this year and supported almost 11500 less fortunate children from Ulhasnagar, Kalyan, Ambernath. These schools caters 95-97% SC / ST students "
On June 23, 2012: Umang Foundation has entered into Limca Book of Records - 2013 edition for distributing stationery kits to 9125 less fortunate children in Ulhasnagar
Education to every child is very important to ensure today a better tomorrow of our country. In most of the cases children drops out from school because their family could not support them financially and could not afford education material and other resources for them.
