Project Description
Thulir is an Education Resource Center for children and young adults at Sittilingi which is a tribal village in Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu. It is a Tamil word meaning, "tender shoot", also "to sprout".
Asha has been actively supporting the Thulir effort since 2004 through Fellowships for Anu and Krishna, who started Thulir. This project is to provide support for recurring expenses of the Thulir initiative. Asha Bangalore is the stewarding chapter of this effort.

Purpose / Goals
The goal of Thulir is to provide a place where:
- Children are in the presence of adults who can motivate them and provide support for learning
- Children can access basic learning resources that are not available to them in their homes or schools
- Children attend supplementary classes or prepare for exams away from crammed and noisy homes
- Children interact with visiting professionals from various walks of life to get exposure
- Young adults are trained to create similar spaces for children in their own villages
- As children grow into young adults, they can have access to vocational training courses and network with other such centers.
