About Me
I have been working with CHIRAG for past 15 years.
Appeal
Chirag School took birth in rural Nainital, in the lap of the Himalayas, in 2006, when Kanai Lal's vision of providing quality primary education to the children of the local community materialised. Today, 116 children from the most disadvantaged homes have a happy space here, built on caring, trusting relationships with their teachers and the freedom to inquire. Inspired by the teachings of the seer J. Krishnamurti, Chirag School offers children a childhood free of fear, comparison, authority, and the pressure to conform.
Our chief assets are our experienced and committed teachers, who watch over and understand children, and develop a warm, trusting relationship with each one, never raising their voices. In the space created by this relationship, children thrive. The teachers are well versed in facilitating learning in child-friendly ways, integrating play, activities, art, craft, drama, and dance with the delivery of curriculum, enabling students to grasp concepts. Our students learn to read, and to enjoy reading.
The school is run by the NGO CHIRAG. Students contribute Rs 150 a month, but the school is mainly sustained by contributions from well-wishers and collaborators. At the moment, Chirag School is expanding, adding an entire middle school section, from classes 6 to 8. For this cause, as well as for the maintenance and functioning of the school, we seek your support. Every little bit counts, and we are immensely grateful for it.
