ARCH Development Foundation To serve businesses in customizing CSR goals by creating sustainable projects globally and in the process enriching the world

An ARCH is a curved symmetrical structure built to support the weight of a bridge, roof, or wall above it. We, at the ARCH Foundation provide the same support to design, build and maintain the bridge between a company's CSR goals to its realisation.

From “How does this work?” to “Let me try it myself.” — that is where STEM learning truly begins.
A child understands science differently when they can touch, build, experiment and explore. A concept that feels distant in a textbook suddenly makes sense when they see it come alive in their own hands.

That belief is at the heart of Project PAHEL, an initiative by Supack Industries in collaboration with ARCH Development Foundation, bringing STEM, Robotics and vocational skills to 8 schools and more than 2,000 students.

Our focus is simple — less telling, more doing.

Through hands-on experiments, demonstrations, robotics, model-making and skill-based activities, students are encouraged to explore freely, ask questions, test their ideas and even learn through things that don’t work the first time.

Because STEM is not just about learning science and technology. It nurtures curiosity, problem-solving, creativity and the confidence to find answers independently — skills that children will carry far beyond the classroom.

With PAHEL, we want children to move from “I know” to “I can do.”

And sometimes, that journey begins with three simple words:

“Let me try.” 🌱

What began as a shared vision in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, is now growing into a larger movement.

A year ago, we embarked on the AU Study Centre journey with a simple belief—that when children are provided with the right learning environment, committed educators, and the support of their community, meaningful change begins to take shape.

As we enter the next phase, the AU Study Centre Initiative is expanding its footprint across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, taking this community-based learning model to many more children and communities.

The philosophy behind the initiative continues to guide every step of this journey—every child deserves an opportunity to learn, thrive, and dream, irrespective of where they come from. Through qualified local educators, experiential learning, strong school partnerships, and active parent engagement, we are creating learning spaces where children not only improve academically but also develop confidence, curiosity, and aspirations for the future.

This journey has been possible because of a partnership built on a shared commitment to creating meaningful and sustainable social impact.

My heartfelt gratitude to AU Foundation for believing in this vision and continuously investing in community-led development. A special thank you to Mr. Saurabh Tambi and Mr. Tejas Joshi for your trust, guidance, and unwavering support throughout this journey.

This is not just the expansion of a project—it is the expansion of a shared purpose.

Happy Teachers’ Day to every teacher—and to the teacher within each of us.

Teaching goes beyond classrooms. Whenever we guide, support, encourage or share what we know, we help someone learn and grow.

Today, we celebrate our ARCHers and everyone who makes a difference by helping others move forward.

At ARCH, few things are more rewarding than seeing a child discover the power of their imagination.

For years, we’ve worked with children from less privileged backgrounds—giving them the tools to express themselves and dream without limits. During our recent Poster Making Competition, simple sets of crayons and sketch pens transformed blank pages into vibrant stories of hope, ambition, and joy.

Art builds confidence, sparks innovation, and gives these young minds a powerful voice.

A special thank you to Prakash Chemical for supporting this initiative and believing in our cause. Together with our dedicated team and volunteers, we are opening doors for these brilliant young creators.

**Standing amidst rows of young turmeric plants, a farmer looks at his field a little differently this season.**

There is hope in what he sees. There is uncertainty too. But above all, there is the quiet courage of having tried something new.

Because for him, this is not just turmeric.

Under **Project UNNATI, in collaboration with Voltamp Transformers Ltd.**, farmers have taken a leap of faith—cultivating **turmeric through organic farming practices across 10 acres of land** as a pilot.

Two years ago, we began encouraging farmers to rethink something they had done a certain way for years: farming with chemicals.

We spoke about the soil. About sustainability. About going chemical-free.

They listened. They questioned. They hesitated.

And then, some decided to try.

Today, those conversations have turned into rows of green.

There is still uncertainty. The harvest is months away. No one knows exactly what the season will bring.

But farming has always been about believing in something you cannot yet see.

**A farmer puts something into the soil, waits patiently, and hopes the earth will return his faith.**

This time, along with turmeric, we hope we are nurturing something more—

**the confidence to change. 🌱**

There was something different about the room that day.

Women who had once come to the Unnati centre as learners were now standing there with something of their own to show.

A product they had made.

A skill they had mastered.

A story they were ready to share.

Some spoke about their experiences with an enthusiasm that filled the room. Some proudly displayed their perfumes, soaps, bags and agarbattis. And then there were women demonstrating soap and chocolate making—skills they had once been taught, but were now confident enough to teach someone else.

That, perhaps, was the most beautiful part of the day.

The certificates were important. So were the 90 women who completed their three-month training in sewing and beautician skills. And for 10 women, the next step has already begun with tailoring and beautician startup kits as they build their own ventures.

But somewhere between the conversations, demonstrations and proud smiles, it felt like we were witnessing something bigger than the completion of a course.

We were seeing women begin to see themselves differently.

The Envalior team joined us in celebrating this journey, and we are grateful to have them alongside us in creating these opportunities through Project Unnati.

Because sometimes, empowerment is not a moment you can capture in a certificate.

It is the moment a learner realises she can become a creator, an entrepreneur, and even a teacher to someone else.

Every child finds their own way to learn.
For six-year-old Yuvanith, that way wasn’t always through words.
He was a quiet, reserved child—more comfortable observing than speaking. When he joined the learning activities at Ahaan Learning Centres, there was no expectation that he would suddenly become the most vocal child in the room.

Instead, he was given different ways to participate.
Through academic learning, activities, experiments and creative experiences, children at Ahaan get opportunities to engage with learning in ways that work for them. For Yuvanith, creative activities became one such entry point.
He began taking a keen interest in them. Slowly, he started participating more enthusiastically and interacting more confidently with others.
But what his mother noticed happened beyond the learning centre.

Yuvanith began recreating the activities at home. He would show his family what he had made and, eventually, started teaching other children in his neighbourhood how to make them too.
For Mrs. Shanthi, that was more than seeing her son learn something new.
She was seeing him open up.
“I never expected Yuvanith to become so interested in these activities. Seeing him recreate the activities at home and teach them to other children made me realise how much he had learned and enjoyed the experience.”
What makes Yuvanith’s story special is not simply that he learned a new skill. It is that he found a way to express himself—and that expression began to carry into the way he interacted with others.
Today, Yuvanith dreams of becoming a scientist.
Perhaps that’s what a meaningful learning space can do.
It doesn’t ask every child to learn in the same way.
It gives each child a chance to find their own way.

At Ahaan Learning Centres, learning extends beyond remedial support to create opportunities for children to strengthen foundational and school-linked learning while also engaging through activities, experiments and other experiential approaches.
Yuvanith’s journey is one small reminder of why those different avenues matter.
Because sometimes, the most important thing a child discovers isn’t just what they can learn—but how they can express who they are.

53 Self-Help Groups formed and strengthened.

Behind every strong Self-Help Group is a community of women choosing to grow together.

Through Project UNNATI, women are building resilient collectives that foster savings, strengthen leadership, create livelihood opportunities, and inspire lasting change.

Because when women come together, empowerment becomes a shared journey.

11,053 children.
One shared beginning.
Before lessons begin, relationships come first.
Across our project schools and learning centres, more than 11,000 children participated in interactive rapport-building activities designed to create welcoming, engaging, and inclusive learning environments.
Through activities like Bubble Making, Selfie Frames, Finger Puppets, Seedball Making, Bird Feeders, Photo Frames, and Marble Painting, children laughed, collaborated, expressed themselves, and built meaningful connections with their facilitators and peers.
Because when children feel comfortable in a classroom, they participate with confidence—and that’s where meaningful learning begins.

Every year, thousands of women complete skill development programmes.

They learn tailoring, food processing, handicrafts, digital skills, beauty services, and many more trades. Certificates are awarded. Training batches conclude.

But here’s the question we often find ourselves asking...
Are we measuring training... or transformation?
Is success defined by the number of women trained?

Or by the number who continue to earn, grow their businesses, gain financial independence, and inspire others months—or even years—later?

Perhaps the real measure of impact isn’t how many people complete a programme, but how many are able to sustain the journey afterwards.
What, in your opinion, should define the success of a livelihood programme?
