Why I am here?

Started as a pilot in 2010 with 50 rural interior students with small scale

research

80% of students have never boarded train- Summer Camp finding

9 out of 10 students drop out at school level in India- M.L Sisodiya (J.H.E 2009)

69.1 % guardians were illiterate Finding of summer camp 2013Reaching to 12000 student annually and have created 280 role models in H.E

The story of Bharat Calling

Started by person who was not able to pay of the school

fees, could not avail bank loans, secured low percentage in

schools, discouraged by relatives to study further- motivated

by parents, did part time jobs, topped university

Approach and Methodology Our central approach is based on a tested Experiential Learning methodology that

is learner centered, participatory, highly dynamic and stimulating.

The following principles guide the Bharat Calling module designed for training:

Systemic thinking: Knowledge and skill to see a system as

a whole and not as parts training

Cross sectoral: Perspectives of multiple stakeholdersacross sectors are mapped; also learning from peers

representing different sectors. Group work

Experiential: Associates work on a real life sustainability

challenge being faced by vulnerable communities using the

U process Bharat Calling alumni visit

Participative: Follows principles of participatory approach

including group exercises, individual assignments, peer

learning, etc Daily exercises

Customised: Modules are designed based on contextual

theme and training needs of the target group. It made me to come out of my
