Communication and Language Therapy, Music & Art Therapy, life Skills, Formal Education (Pratham & NIOS), Counselling Therapy, Consultancy and workshops at schools.
JinShiksha initiated two new verticals during Pandemic.
- “AAVID”
Aavid – “Knowledge” in Sanskrit, was incepted during the lockdown of 2020, we visualized the impact of the pandemic on children, with their parents being completely taken aback by the wave. What was evident was sheer chaos noticed in children, with parents unable to cope up the uncertainty of the future of their child’s education.
We started with meeting parents online and sharing knowledge on how to keep child engaged during such an on-going and prevailing life situation, Aavid transitioned from small talks towards more structured courses and workshops that focused on Parenting, Special Education, Life Skills and other various teaching strategies and hosted webinars by experts in the field of Education and Mental Health. Aavid seeks inspiration through the philosophies of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf, an alternative educational curriculum.
- “I AM ABLE”
"I AM ABLE" is an initiative of JinShiksha, focuses on employment for psychological and neurological challenged population and their families. With life raising many questions about their future and the ongoing conditions making survival difficult, this initiative works at making them responsible, self-sufficient in the society and supporting them to grow just like the society expects them to be. They have been provided intensive training in education and life skills through their formative years, by JinShiskha's passionate and well trained team.
