SIKHYA:   A RADICAL INNOVATION IN EDUCATION

Sikhya caters exclusively to underprivileged children. It currently has classes from nursery upto Class VIII. No fees are charged from the parents. All facilities--teaching, sports, hobbies, textbooks, are free for the children.

All children are also given uniforms, transport and daily food, all completely free of charge. Value-based education is a key thrust area. To go beyond mere text-book learning to building character-qualities and values like courage, integrity, fearlessness, conscientious citizenship and secularism.

Sikhya is the personal vision of Dr Gurpreet Singh, who has been deeply involved in education and industry for many years. It is run under the aegis of the Guru Nanak VIdya Bhandar Trust which runs several schools and orphanages.
