The goal is Activity-based education. Main focus of this center has been to create awareness towards importance of literacy, and further help individuals to enroll them in regular schools (day boarding or residential school, depend upon the family circumstances). Also education on English, basic mathematics, science, cleanlinees and hygiene is provided. Children at INSEED centres have been from different parts of India and not necessarily from Nashik. Most of the parents of these children were not educated (nearly 50 families of construction workers and 50 families from slum area).
The Indic Society for Education and Development is a not-for-profit organisation, established in India to extend a helping hand to the under-privileged sections of the Indian society, particularly in the rural and tribal areas. The benefits of the current economic growth and the innovations in technology are passing these groups by. In order for these groups to be active participants in the progress of the nation, and to enjoy the benefits of the economic growth, the privileged sections ought to bring them up by giving them a helping hand. The social, economical and technological upliftment has to be egalitarian, in an increasingly globalising world.Aim of this group is to bridge the gap between under-previleged sections of the Indian society and previledged sections (social, economical and technological) of the global world.
