The biggest industrial factor that restricts economic development in India is the weak political system. The combined political and administrative capacities of the states is very weak even though the states form a cohesive federation. India has a long way to go to catch up with developed countries when it comes to female literacy and employment opportunities. Eastern India has been lagging behind due to both economic factors and institutional arrangements. Recent decades have witnessed a gradual but significant deterioration in the quality of Free education provided in public institutions both for girls and boys. We need to redirection Eastern India is lagging behind Western India in many spheres. For one, it lags in the area of data collection and matching. Delhi, for example, has 15 data entry points for NGOs whereas Mumbai has only four. Also, while there are 33 million Indians living in Western India, only 23 million are eligible to vote; 15 million are not allowed to cast a ballot for a particular office due to language barriers. Current Proceedings of the Education reforms. The digitalization of the curriculum, but there needs to be a rethinking about how Eastern India can succeed in the global pool of `knowledge workers.' In fact, if we want to create a future where a literate person can open up their own business or go into professions like medicine without a college degree, many more. Over the last few decades, funding for research in Eastern India has lagged behind that in the West. This has had a deleterious effect on research in areas such as health and engineering. Despite this, many key technological advances—including the cells that make up the heart, which have been successfully transplanted into patients in Western hospitals—have been made. In fact, there are actually some patients in Western hospitals that receive heart transplants from patients in Eastern India. Data collection from mobile phones and internet use has increased dramatically in the past few years. People across India have become more dependent on data services and this trend will continue. More and more businesses are growing rapidly but lack adequate resources to handle this increased workload. The government should focus on improving the overall quality of services provided by government departments and making them more accessible to citizens through a better It has to do with our attitude towards Free education and Children NGOs. The West has been steadily investing more in its higher education sector, and is beginning to reap the rewards. One way it does this is by providing computer labs as part of its educational deals with educational institutions.The U.S. has also been giving gifts to its schools, with the Gates Foundation investing $30 million into computer labs over the past five years. Of course, money can't buy everything. But if we want our kids to have access to the most advanced technology, then investing in computer labs is a good place to start. http://www.prayatnasoe.org/

There are a lot of pieces to understanding children. It’s important to look at how each child perceives different situations and how this influences their actions. There is much information available online about psychology, but we’re going to focus on how you can use this information to advocate for your child in the best possible light. As parents we have to realize that each kid is different and develop our own specific techniques for getting along with them in order to get the best out of them. There is much we can learn from our children. Research shows that """"even very small aspects of children's development can have huge effects on adult outcomes."""" For example, if a student displays one kind of emotion but has another hidden emotion, such as fear, this will have a huge impact on how the adult treats the child. Children's emotions are not always correctly identified or labeled. This can lead to a lot of confusion as parents try to help their kids with their emotions, unaware that they are doing more harm than good. Why is it so important? Child development and Children Learning is incredibly complicated. It's as if something's been set in stone, set in stone for thousands of years, yet we're still figuring it out. We don't yet fully understand the causes and effects of human behavior, but understanding child psychology helps us understand many aspects of early development. Later in life we can apply these insights to solve problems. Each person is unique and has their own characteristics, emotional makeup and behavior that develops as they grow older. The older you get, the more important your psychological development becomes. As we continue to develop as individuals, our needs change, our behaviors change, and our abilities change. Child psychology and development affects us in ways we realise only later in life. As parents, we need to understand our children’s development so we can equip them with the skills they need to succeed in life. In this section you will discover how characteristics such as confidence, self confidence, emotional intelligence, problem solving ability, empathy and perseverance can be used by teachers and parents to help children conduct themselves in an ethical and competent manner. Detailed Aspects to Child Development Child psychological development is a process that affects a person from infancy to age 18. There are three stages of child development: causal, functional, and expressive. Each stage has connotations for a particular ability or ability proficiency that a child will acquire. The causal stage is characteristics that cause certain changes in thinking and behavior. For example, your child might begin displaying the signs of causal reasoning at about age 3. Common causal abilities include reasoning, vocabulary, conceptual understanding, and planning. There are many factors that influence a child's intelligence or development. One important factor is the family environment. The kind of parenting practices practiced, as well as how interventions are implemented, has an effect on the kinds of achievements a child may later achieve. Most importantly, however, is the quality of educational programs children receive at school. Child Development through formal education; informal education includes play and story time. Common childhood illnesses and behaviors resolved through Parenting Through Play. Play is a vital concept in all areas of life whether we realize it or not. Play encourages imaginative thinking, active listening, problem solving, and problem-solving. It helps children learn to cooperate and co-opt authority. It develops fine motor skills and arm-flapping skills that teach children to express themselves through balancing on hands and feet, swinging from ropes, using pretend weapons OBSERVE & RESPOND There is much about parenting that we do not understand. Many of us try to supervise as best we can but are not fully aware of the impact of our actions. We inadvertently provide our children with options that are rich in meaning but rarely make them choose between options in ways that feel good. When I was a teenager, a friend of mine suggested I look into behaviourism, a theory that explains why children under certain circumstances will choose to interact in certain ways. This is what I found: children are generally very good at evaluating people and figuring out what is valuable to them. If you want to understand human nature better, the best thing you can do is to observe and record the way your child behaves. http://www.prayatnasoe.org/

The biggest difference between education in the private and the public sectors is not what students learn but what teachers and principals do in order to deliver an unforgettable education. In recent years this has led to a shift in how government schools interact with their students and their parents. Students are brave and optimistic individuals who put their own ideals and interests above those of others. Despite being taught to be subservient to authority figures, children today resist taking orders from teachers and prefer to think for themselves. This makes them good role models for others because they always seek out new information and evaluate based on its merit. Let’s dive into Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Aspects of Education Spiritual development"" is also conducive to an emotionally healthy and prosperous childhood. Students should be encouraged to think about faith and moral issues from a young age, and that moral development should be given weight in the curriculum. Few social issues are more directly relevant to young people than climate change, and yet very few schools help their students think critically about the issue. Moral development involves supporting students to make considered choices around their behaviour and the values that provide a framework for how they choose to live."""" This may mean encouraging them to think more carefully about how they use welfare benefits or arrange their care-giving so as not to disadvantage themselves, for example. It may also mean bringing home the house on time so everyone has a meal each evening even if they can’t afford one themselves. Moral development does not consist in lecturing or attempting to convert others but encouraging them to think for themselves and act accordingly. Social Development involves to know how to stand up for others; how to compromise, hold firm, listen and accept other people's opinions, and how to express views even if they conflict with those of others.````Social development may consist of learning how to spread the work you do, developing the skills and knowledge about work that you already possess, or learning new skills that will enable you to do more effective work. All have value and should be pursued as part of your professional development. However, personal development acknowledges the fact that different people respond to different processes. Thus, some methods of social development might be more appropriate for some people than others. Cultural development supports students to build global awareness and empathy for other cultures. They should challenge discrimination based on cultural or racial difference. They should experience cultural traditions embedded in arts, crafts, language, literature, theatre, song, music, dance, sport, Science, technology and travel. Cultural development in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) encourages students to develop critical thinking, creativity, problem solving and communication skills through experiential learning. This includes not only formal educational programs but experiential learning as well as networking and partnerships with other organizations. http://www.prayatnasoe.org/

As a parent, communication with your child is the key to learning. It is important to be clear about what you want from them and what you don't want. Children will respond well to parental direction and structure. It is also important to use positive reinforcement when necessary. Also, it is helpful to practice raising awareness of body language and other non verbal cues that might indicate that your child wants something. After all, if we can't read what our kids are thinking, we aren't going to teach them very much! While most kids are happy to stay home and play with Legos and blocks, a small percentage start kindergarten armed with a pencil and paper. These early learners learn better when they have tasks to complete than when they are just playing. In their quest for grades, early learners must learn to work hard and persist. Sometimes this means sitting still and doing what they are told. ESSENTIAL ASPECTS TO NURTURING A CHILD There are six elements to the nurture of a child: Parents should provide affection and attention. Families should exchange gifts Parents should help children learn how to solve problems Their role should be to organize activities that increase their senses Physical and emotional well being is something that many overlook. Physical well being encompasses activities that build and deepen our bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, brain activity and nervous system. Emotional well being encompasses nurturing and supporting relationships with family, friends, colleagues and people in our lives. Physical well being builds us up to be strong enough to handle whatever life throws at us without getting injured (our bodies are built for this!) and emotional well being keeps us stable and happy enough to function at our best level. DIETARY NURTURING So many of us go to bed hungry every night. This is a major reason why weight gain occurs. If you are eating correct amounts of food, you will have energy for the next day. If you don’t have enough nutrients in your body, it can only deal with so much pain before it gives up. The next day, you wake up feeling like crap... or worse yet, sluggish. If your body isn’t running properly, you are setting yourself up to experience chronic pain.. This article outlines the general nutritional type of foods you should be eating when pursuing any exercise program or diet that SOCIAL LEARNINGS Social Development is about increasing the quality and extent of community involvement in work, business, and social activities. This approach integrates the general philosophy of entrepreneur George Russell Couch from his famous 1945 essay """"Social Choice"""" in which he outlined his theory of choice architecture. Couch argued that children must develop their abilities through interacting with people and organizations different from themselves, developing competencies where necessary, and working in ways that promote social welfare and well-being for everyone Attention is the most precious thing in the world— and I've learned over time that if you give more of it, you'll get more of what you want. In the pursuit of our dreams, we often give ourselves away. We become distracted, our energy shoots off, and we give up on things that should be made a priority. But it doesn't have to be this way. If you learn to pay more attention to the things you want massively and give yourself permission each day to let go of the things you don't, you have a better chance of getting what you really want—and more importantly, letting go of the things that drain your energy and leave you feeling hollow. http://www.prayatnasoe.org/

A democratic work model is one in which everybody has good subordinates and bosses and everybody can adjust his work status at will. It refers to a society where the rank and file can vote on issues, not just the senior people, because all constituents have some say in how things are run. This is distinct from a fully managerial model, in which the leader is seen as almost mythical—an ideal role model whose job it is to inspire people into being better managers themselves. Students in the fresh political atmosphere created by the Prayatna Authorities at the Centre are keen on performing certain tasks as suggested by their leaders with utmost dedication. For instance, they would like to form a “Mandal” to run their school/educational institution/operation in a democratic way. It is expected that these students will work hard and give their best efforts in fulfilling the conditions put by their political leaders The Cabinet is mandated to function as a collective organ. This mandates that elected members of the members draft and adopt policy and programme documents which are all modelled on the consolidated policies of the student matters and implementing rules of the Institution. Students in Prayatna Education NGO have the right to choose their local leaders via general elections held once in six months through written and electronic applications. Students have the right to elect one or more members of their school's student council to serve as their leader. Each student has two votes for choosing their candidate which makes it crucial that candidates represent a wide range of opinions among Why Prayatna’s Democratic Work Model? Students cabinet is the most important and popular place for students to interact with each other, but it’s quickly become a “memories room” that contains countless stories and anecdotes pulled from many different students. The team behind Students Cabinet decided to make this online place because we believe browsing through photos of happy moments with friends can enhance any negative moment at school. The cabinet’s purpose is to keep students connected and inspired on a daily basis and, more importantly, help break down any barriers that may exist between students. Migrant Children become empowered when they work on a project that fulfills our passions. When they complete a significant project, not only did they overcome some obstacle, but children also experienced the gratification of overcoming an obstacle. The sense of accomplishment can be so rewarding that we continue working towards our goals even when we feel we cannot succeed. This is where development of a sense of empowered comes in. We learn to see things from others’ perspective, get better at seeing relationships through different eyes, and gain the confidence to take action when we have chosen not to by following a safer routine. Then we can choose to continue developing these abilities to win over opportunities in our lives of our children! http://www.prayatnasoe.org/

NatyaShala is the theatre wing of “Prayatna School of Excellence” NGO. The idea behind it is to inculcate values and develop personality traits among children of the age group of 10 to 16 through plays, storytelling and other artistic and literary activities. It also promotes theatre activities for the acting aspirants. Five key programs of Natyashala Activity-based Learning program from 6th to 9th standard. Enhances creativity among students by enacting them. Improves art of communication, linguistic skills and power of imagination. Help children discover a society, human behaviour and humanity as a whole. Give stages and live platforms to showcase their talents. Importance of Natyashala Develop social and higher-order thinking skills. They learn to look at a problem from different perspectives. Theatre requires advanced thinking strategies, communication, and social skills. Through plays, children learn to consider others’ perspectives. Children also gain knowledge and balance their own ideas with others. They learn to express their thoughts and ideas and create different information and ideas. How Natyashala boost Confidence Theatre provides an opportunity for self-expression and allows children to find out more about themselves. Listening to our inner instincts and then being able to express them also help children to believe in themselves. Speaking aloud in front of others gives children confidence in their own voice and opinions. How Natyashala improves Linguistic Skills Language involves all forms of communication and so does theatre or stage plays. Children can easily understand the meaning of the word by associating it with the situation that is being enacted. Speaking is an intrinsic part of the theatre. Through this children learn to employ voice dynamics like pitch, volume, intonation and voice modulation Speaking aloud while memorising the script and practising dialogue delivery will sharpen pronunciation. Reading aloud the script during rehearsals can instil the ability to pronounce words correctly, focus on punctuation and communicate better. During Pandemic During the pandemic, Natyashala continued online. It was done to improve motivation and reduce stress in children. The focus has been only on story reading, clarity in speaking, focusing on intensity in delivering speeches, imagination and visualization techniques. NatyaShala Classes Natyashala has produced several plays since it started. “Heroes of Panipat” was also sent to NSD in 2019 for evaluation. Seven to Ten Master Classes (one and a half hours each).

Every year since 1985, the Government of India observes 12th January, the Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda as National Youth Day. Prayatna, a leading NGO has been working to uplift the lives of underprivileged children by providing education and guidance. An awareness program has been organized by Prayatna to create awareness among the youth regarding Swami Vivekananda's life and his messages for youth. Mr. Parneet Sushil, Founder of Prayatna quoted, “It was felt that the philosophy of Swami Ji and the ideals for which he lived and worked could be a great source of inspiration for the Indian Youth.” Swami Vivekananda once said, “Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.” The webinar was organized and fruitful discussions were welcomed by eminent personalities from various fields. The ideas and ideals of Swami Ji were part of their address. Vivekananda’s message was simple yet powerful. He conveyed his ideas directly to the people, especially to the youth. His message broke through the shackles of caste and creed and spoke of a language of universal brotherhood. What he said captures the great importance of his ideas and ideals among the youth in our country today. He personified the eternal energy of the youth and their restless quest for truth. It is entirely fitting that 12th January, the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, is observed as National Youth Day to rekindle the eternal message of this great patriot and son of India. But how to make youth realize the relevance of Swami Vivekananda in these exciting and challenging times when on the one hand people and nations are engaged in the noble task of developing the personality and leadership qualities of the youth by involving them in various nation-building activities, while on the other hand there are challenges of hunger, poverty, unemployment, corruption, and terrorism. Among the various ways that Swami Vivekananda suggested to rebuild the Indian society, Education was the primary means for empowering the people. He once said, “The education which does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life, which does not bring out the strength of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion – is it worth the name? Real education is that which enables one to stand on one’s own legs is working towards providing quality education to the people and building their character by instilling human values in students. According to Swami Vivekananda, “Teach yourselves, teach everyone his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.” The initiatives of the Government were also discussed at length which includes the efforts to convert teachings of Swami Vivekananda into practice in the current context. To meet the need and aspirations of more than a billion people is not an easy task unless some integrated action is taken in areas where the country has a core competence. Agriculture, Education, Healthcare, Reliable, and Quality Electric power, Surface transport and Infrastructure for all parts of the country, Information and Communication Technology and Strategic sector are the areas closely interrelated and if the work on these areas for an integrated action starts in the right earnest it will lead to food, economic and national security of India. The Government has embarked on the mission of building a united, strong, and modern India to fulfill the vision of great thinkers like Vivekananda. “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat”, following the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”. These are not merely slogans but a commitment to the people particularly to youth to take the nation to new heights. A number of path-breaking initiatives have been introduced recently. ‘Make in India’ campaign has been launched to develop India as a global manufacturing hub. ‘Digital India’ initiative seeks to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. ‘Skill India’ is being launched to impart necessary skills to prepare Indians for the opportunities in the Indian Economy as also the opportunities abroad. A number of initiatives, including the Smart Cities Project, have been launched for developing infrastructure. In all these ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ and ‘Clean Ganga’ Mission have been launched for building a clean and green India. All these initiatives of the Government require active involvement and support of youth as they are the major stakeholders of the future of this country. Skill development and Entrepreneurship is the flagship programme to put India on the road to become developed nation. Government is making all efforts to invest hugely in youth of the country because it is necessary in the ambitious task of building a modern and prosperous India. And as Swami Vivekananda once exhorted, “Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached”, let us all unite and work for the country with Purity, patience, and perseverance as the Swami felt long ago that these three are essentials to success http://www.prayatnasoe.org/

Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. Why is emotional intelligence so important? It’s not the smartest people who are the most successful or the most fulfilled in life. High emotional intelligence can help you navigate the social complexities of the workplace, lead and motivate others, and excel in your career. High EQ results in good physical health. Uncontrolled emotions and stress can also impact your mental health, making you vulnerable to anxiety and depression. People with high EQ are good at dealing with mentally taxing emotions and have peace of mind. People with high EQ are better able to express how they feel and understand how others are feeling. This allows them to communicate more effectively and forge stronger relationships. How Prayatna teach EQ through Storytelling? EQ is not acquired but learned, and anyone can develop it especially children Every Sunday, Storytelling activities are conducted with children. Stories from Indian classics, Epics, Folklores, Fables, Jatak Katha, Panchtantra are read and discussed.

Prayatna's program for teaching EQ Problem Solving Stories to create a perception of innovation, creativity, and believable teamwork Seven Master Classes, available online and offline both Open to all, especially children in the age group 8-16 Why is Prayatna teaching EQ? EQ is the most neglected part of our curriculum. In the race to secure better academic results, schools often forget about the importance of EQ for children. No matter what your career choice is, you need a good EQ to succeed and be satisfied. Primary education is the right time to teach EQ, which is often ignored. is working on EQ with schools to raise awareness about the topic http://www.prayatnasoe.org/ #education

Life for migrant labours is never easy. The tough times of corona have further increased their dismay. The pain of staying alone and away from families can never be described in words. Sonu Kumar is one of such migrant labour who worked in a tea stall. Making the ends meet and supporting the family with his meagre income was not easy. " http://www.prayatnasoe.org/donate Please Help Us Your Small Donation Help Many Students To Achieve There Dreams." Sonu was not good in studies thus a very strong path where he could tread and touch new milestones was missing. However, there was a sportsperson in him, who never let him give up on hope. With the right guidance at the Prayatna, he got a new hope for life. How did he join Prayatna? Not all people get the correct guidance in life. Despite all adversities, if the right person holds your hand and guides you, there is nothing that one cannot achieve. The success story of Sonu is all about his journey from darkness to a bright future. Praneet Sushil, the founder of Prayatna came as a guardian angel in the life of Sonu and many others. Sonu had a few cousins who were already associated with them. They introduced him to them and his life changed there. Praneet Sushil, the Chief Mentor of Prayatna understands that not all people are the same. Every individual is unique and so are his or her capabilities. He assesses the capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of each person and this has become the trend of Prayatna. Thus depending on their individual abilities, they train them. It is a fact of life that if individuals are allowed to do what they are passionate about then success is bound to happen. His journey: Success does not easy but then with hard work, it gets manifested. The same point holds for Sonu Kumar. Sonu had immense passion for Karate and Taekwondo. He was not interested in his studies. From childhood, he was forced to study but he could not excel there. He often felt sad, as he could not study so he felt that a road was blocked. Without proper education and degree, he was forced to work as migrant labour. He worked in a tea stall where income was very little and he couldn't survive with some mere bucks. However, he never gave up hope. He had a natural inclination towards sports. He started his journey as child labour and had no dreams or even some basic education. He then came to Prayatna and it was here where he learned how to write his own name. Thus the journey towards making his graphing, his name started from here only. He also has acting bones: His journey was incredible. He started doing plays with Praneet Sushil who is also a dramatist and running a theatre group “NatyaShala” where young school students get associated with some creative skills. He won the award of Best Actor for three consecutive years. Thus the kid who was once child labour now had dreams and a mission. He had a purpose in life and this was fulfilling. Sonu, a not so confident boy who was once in a cocoon-like caterpillar, finally bloomed into a colourful and magnificent butterfly. His teaching skills: He loved all his teachers at Prayatna and has special regard to his prime mentor Praneet Sushil. The teachers here were giving and dedicated to their job of teaching. He later, himself started to teach the kids here with diligence. He started to love the profession of teaching and felt blessed while doing it. His sporting journey: Prayatna trained him in sports; A skill that he was immensely blessed with. He acquired training for playing cricket. The Gentlemen’s Game was the focal point of his life. He became the best player and won several tournaments. He was also awarded as the Best Cricket Player. Again for three consecutive years, he won the award. And then he became unstoppable: Sonu Kumar had the quest, he had the thirst to learn new things and nothing could stop him from learning something new. Even after claiming his position as the Best Actor and Best Cricket Player, he did not stop. He joined another that was coaching for Karate and Taekwondo. He loved both sports. Then he joined an academy to get professional training in sports. He trained hard there and with the support of he claimed his position as a Black Belt Master. At the same Prayatna where he learned to write his name, there he became Sports Teacher. He is teaching the kids there both Karate and Taekwondo. Thus he is an acclaimed Black Belt Teacher. The journey is beautiful: Sonu Kumar has never looked back since. He always wanted more and was determined to bring about a positive change. It was his dreams that proved to be the focal point in his life. He started to coach the students at other places. Thus outside the institute also began coaching the students. He is generating income from a skill for which he has passion. Thereby he is a happy soul now. He also works at Grofers. He got selected thereafter clearing a round of an interview, which he could clear only with the help of Prayatna. Thus, this became his side hustle. Prayatna and Sonu's association: Up to 2017- 18, Sonu Kumar was closely associated with Prayatna. He was teaching there and continues to do that to date. Prayatna inspired him to do what he loves. Prayatna identified and believed in his potential and urged him to also have faith in himself. Morally, they supported him in his endeavour and helped him become what he is today. Prayatna also supported him financially and sponsored him throughout the journey. During the black belt training when he was required to pay the fees at the academy, Prayatna backed him. He had the potential but the Prayatna helped him to believe in his potential and harness the potential. Clearly, Sonu has faced several hardships in life and the teachers at Prayatna inspired him to find a way through the hardships. He owes his success to the Prayatna. Sonu earnestly claims that his success and his achievements are because of the guidance and support of the Praneet Sushil and Prayatna, for which he is forever grateful. #NGO in india #NGO for education
