Wipro Foundation's Embark initiative's goal is to strengthen the educational and organizational capacities of Civil Society Organizations. As part of this year’s offerings, Pragat Shikshan Sanstha (PSS) is offering a course in Early Childhood Education (ECE) - Strengthening the foundation. The course will be conducted in-person, in Pune, with a field visit to Phaltan, Maharashtra.
This course is offered in Hindi.

Coordinators, supervisors, project officers, project associates, and field staff of NGOs working in ECE are encouraged to apply for the course. It will help the participants build a good understanding of how children develop and learn, the process of setting up and running play-based ECE centers, and the development of language and literacy. The course will have five modules covered in two in-person contact sessions of four days and a few online sessions. There will be a gap of two months between the two contact sessions during which the participants will carry out specific tasks/assignments with children.

Last date to receive nominations: May 24, 2026

The goal of the Embark initiative of Wipro Foundation is to strengthen the educational and organizational capacities of Civil Society Organizations. As part of this year’s offerings, Wipro Foundation, in collaboration with our partner , is offering a course titled 'Introduction to libraries.'

This is a two-part course, with an in-person touchpoint at Bookworm, Goa. The workshop also includes exposure visits and a Library Activity Project. The latter will enable the implementation of learnings directly in the field.

Through this course, participants will gain first-hand experience of the library as a learning space. They will learn to recognize the critical elements of library practice and understand how to set up a library space.

Founders/leaders are requested to nominate individuals from their organizations for the course by May 10, 2026 (Sunday).

Wipro Education Fellowship Program: update about the new cohort

Launched in 2015, the Wipro Education Fellowship Program supports early‑stage education organizations working to strengthen India’s school education system. The Fellowship partners with committed founders and provides them with financial support. It also offers them opportunities for capacity building, mentoring, and access to a wider learning network. Since its launch, the Fellowship has supported 156 fellows from 85 early‑stage education organizations, working across 24 States and 3 UTs, spanning diverse regional and educational contexts in India.

Building on this growing community, the new Fellowship cohort includes 14 founding members from eight early‑stage organizations, working across India in areas such as Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), and libraries. Through sustained engagement, the Fellowship supports these organizations to build strong foundations and contribute meaningfully to long‑term, systemic change in education in the country.

At Samuhik Pahal, our focus remains on the observations and learnings made in the course of work in the social sector. We facilitate a collective of practitioners who are proving, day by day, that the most sustainable systemic changes happen from within the classroom, not just from the top down.

Our recent journal articles provide three interesting insights into the Indian education sector:

On Language Learning: Foundational literacy is not about English-fluency; it's about learning through one's context in one's own mother tongue.

On Assessment: The true value of data is reflected primarily in individual, personal transformation rather than through comparisons only.

On Scale: Systemic impact is built on the currency of relationships, not just through large financial investments.

This is what the field is teaching us.

The education of children with disabilities in underserved communities depends on more than access to schooling alone. It is shaped by a wider set of conditions including nutrition, health care, family support, and community awareness that together influence a child’s ability to learn and participate with dignity.

Chehak Trust, a partner of Wipro Foundation, works with communities in Mumbai and focuses on early identification of developmental needs, strengthening awareness within families and neighbourhoods, and building local capability to support children over time.

Women from the community are trained and engaged alongside multidisciplinary professionals, enabling support that is locally grounded and responsive.

Through multi-sensory play‑based methods, Chehak Trust's program functions as both a learning environment and a therapeutic support system, respecting each child’s pace, abilities, and context.

What if a village’s biggest waste problem becomes its greatest water solution?

In Khandewla, Haryana, a historic well had become a 24-foot deep dump for plastic and debris. But restoration is more than just a cleanup, it is about redesigning for a climate-resilient future.

By converting this ruin into a rainwater recharge engine, the community captured 190 kilolitres of water that would have otherwise been lost. This Earth Day, we remember this move from 'relics' to 'functioning engines'.

We often think of the classroom as the only site of education, but practitioners Nandita Raval and Seema Sirohi remind us that the entire school campus is a "Learning Base Area."

From the spontaneous peer-to-peer logic shared in a corridor to the ecological stewardship learned in a garden, every square inch of a school has the potential to teach 21st-century skills.

At Maragondanahalli Government School in Bengaluru, we recently completed a mural created with student participation. At its centre is a simple, familiar object, the chattai / ಚಾಪೆ. For many children, this mat is where learning begins. It is a place to sit, think, ask questions, play, imagine, and sometimes simply rest. In the mural, each mat becomes a small world of possibility.

Layered into the artwork are elements drawn from the children’s own surroundings and cultural landscape. These include Gulmohar flowers, the Mysuru elephant, the Hampi chariot, a Yakshagana performer, and everyday sights from the neighborhood. Themes of biodiversity, climate awareness, and STEM learning are woven in quietly and with care.

The mural sits within a broader re‑imagining of the school as a learning environment. Over the past phase, the school has seen new classrooms built to child‑friendly standards, refurbished learning spaces, improved sanitation facilities, a kindergarten play area, and shaded corridors that connect the campus. Shared spaces for assemblies and interaction have also been created. Together, these changes are shaping a school that children want to come to, reflected in improved attendance and active use of learning spaces.

Why does this matter? The school serves children from low‑income families, where many parents work in the unorganized sector and where schooling can often be fragile. In such contexts, education is shaped not only by curriculum, but by whether children feel safe, seen, and valued. Seeing their own worlds, ideas, and imagination reflected on the walls of their school helps affirm something essential: dignity, belonging, and ownership of learning.

The mural is not a decorative addition. It is one human layer within Wipro Foundation’s long‑term work to strengthen government schools in Bengaluru, spanning 21 schools and 181 anganwadis, where infrastructure, learning environments, and community participation come together to support children to stay, learn, and grow.

The 5th edition of the Wipro Healthcare Forum was held from February 16–18, 2026, at Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. Over three days, partner organizations, healthcare practitioners, and public health experts came together to examine persistent challenges in primary healthcare and share practice-led insights from the field. Through focused discussions, interactive sessions, and workshops, the forum created space for collective learning on what it takes to improve health outcomes, particularly for underserved communities. The conversations reflected a shared responsibility to strengthen primary healthcare systems in India in a manner that is thoughtful, collaborative, and with a long-term focus.
