Hope you are doing well!

Operation Vasantha has been impacting the lives of disadvantaged rural children since 2009.This highly interactive and empowering initiative addresses the problem of school dropouts. It also aims to educate families on the importance of education and engage dropouts by helping them in their studies and other children through interactive activities, fun learning sessions. These activities include parents counseling, health and hygiene camps and education on ecology.

Local college students are trained and given support from Agastya to teach children in their villages. These individuals willingly spend their evenings educating and inspiring weaker students and school dropouts from their villages.
