Despite national efforts like the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, access to quality and inclusive education remains a challenge, particularly for children and youth from marginalized communities. Emotional and mental health issues, poor hygiene, weak health infrastructure, financial hardship, and untrained teaching personnel further hinder effective learning outcomes. In many areas, inadequate school infrastructure—such as lack of classrooms, toilets, clean drinking water, and learning resources—continues to act as a barrier to regular attendance and meaningful learning. The integration of health, emotional well-being, and life skills within the education system is critical for achieving holistic development. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals—particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities)—this initiative seeks to promote inclusive learning environments, empower educators, and enable every child to learn, grow, and thrive.

Empowering Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)

Project Samavesh, launched on 15th March 2024, is a transformative initiative by BlueKare Foundation aimed at advancing inclusive education for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). In collaboration with Manovikas, the project has successfully completed three impactful phases, reaching over 200 beneficiaries and delivering tangible improvements in learning, therapy, and personal development.

By providing these essential materials, BlueKare Foundation aims to enhance learning opportunities, promote school attendance, and encourage a positive learning environment for these deserving students. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff and administration of Government Primary School, Dharampur, for their invaluable cooperation and support.
