Working in Laxminagar, Pune, this project focusses on a crucial aspect that hampers children’s learning at an early stage: language.

The NGO Palakniti Pariwar runs Khelghar with HCNF support, using its expertise to help children from migrant families bridge the gap between home and school language, and also supports them in mathematics.

In addition, the centre also helps them to deal with issues such as corporal punishment and domestic violence, through counselling services and other interventions. Around 170 children benefit from these interventions.
