Salaam Bombay Foundation

Empowering children to make the right choices about their health,education and livelihood thereby ensuring that they can thrive with a bright future.

Salaam Bombay Foundation started in 2002 to work with 12 to 17-year-old adolescents growing up in India’s slums. These children live in extreme poverty and in “at risk” environments. The municipal schools they go to do not have the resources to give them individual attention, career guidance or access to activities that stimulate the mind. Many are undernourished and face the risk of substance abu

se. They come from financially challenged homes and are pressured to drop out of secondary school and seek jobs to support their families. Given these ground realities, Salaam Bombay Foundation has harnessed the ability of child-friendly, innovative education tools to develop life skills and the coping skills necessary to ensure that these adolescents develop into well-rounded personalities, able to meet the challenges they face and take on leadership roles within their communities. The Foundation keeps children in school by empowering them to make the right choices about their health, education and livelihood thereby ensuring that they can thrive with a bright future. In-school leadership and advocacy programmes equip "at-risk" adolescents with the life skills they need to lead change. The Sports, Arts and Media academies encourage them to express themselves and provide performance opportunities that build self-esteem while the skills@school programme broadens their career horizons and empowers them with vocational skills for sustainable careers. Thus Salaam Bombay initiatives increase confidence, give vulnerable adolescents the means to earn part-time and stay in school, and provide the tools to explore their full potential.

What does it really mean for students to “know” AI?

At Decoding AI in Public Education: Perspectives for Policy and Practice, we explored this question through insights from a first-of-its-kind study across Mumbai’s public schools.

The findings revealed a clear paradox - while awareness of AI is high, true understanding remains limited.

Through powerful discussions with leaders across education, industry, and public systems, we took a step towards bridging this gap.

As AI continues to shape how students learn, our collective responsibility is to ensure it empowers, not replaces their thinking.

Are students becoming reliant on AI to complete schoolwork and related tasks?

As AI steadily reshapes how students learn and gather information, an important question remains: are we moving beyond access to true understanding?

Salaam Bombay Foundation in partnership with School of Business Management, NMIMS, undertook a joint research study under the aegis of Mirae Asset Foundation-SVKM’s NMIMS ESG Research Chair, is convening a dialogue on “Decoding AI in Public Education: Perspectives for Policy and Practice”.

This upcoming event will bring together voices from education, academia, CSR, corporates, and government to explore a critical gap while access to AI tools is growing, conceptual understanding and responsible usage remain limited.

The discussion will be grounded in insights from a joint research study conducted across 20 public schools in Mumbai, covering over 1000 students.

From access to understanding, and from usage to responsible adoption, this is a conversation that matters.

From first rehearsals to the final applause, our students stepped into the spotlight at Katha with confidence, courage, and creativity.

Stories were not just told: they were owned, expressed, and brought to life.

This is what happens when young voices are given a platform. This is how we begin to break the cycle.

The event came alive because of so many incredible people who believed in it! From our sponsors and mentors, to the teachers and supporters - thank you for making this possible.
