Grantha Mitra is Akanksha Charitable Trust's Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) programme, designed to strengthen core reading, writing and arithmetic skills among students of Grades 4–7 in rural government and aided schools. Trained FLN educators conduct structured, small-group sessions tailored to each child's learning level, supported by regular baseline, midline and endline assessments to track progress. The programme maintains a low student-teacher ratio to ensure personalised attention, and integrates psychosocial support through counselling sessions for both students and parents. By focusing on children with the greatest learning gaps, Grantha Mitra ensures that no child is left behind in acquiring the foundational skills needed for future learning.

MindSpace is a student-focused counselling and well-being programme that provides accessible psychological support, guidance and a safe space for students to express their concerns. Through individual counselling sessions and school-based interventions, this programme helps students build emotional resilience, improve self-awareness and navigate academic, personal and social challenges.

Skill Edge is a career-readiness programme designed to equip college students with the practical skills needed to succeed in higher education, employment and the workplace. The programme focuses on communication, digital skills, resume building, LinkedIn, interview preparation, critical thinking, problem-solving and professional confidence, helping students move from classroom learning to meaningful career opportunities.

ACT’s STEM initiatives make science, technology, engineering and mathematics more engaging and accessible for students in rural and government schools. Through hands-on experiments, STEM labs, computer education, innovation activities and practical learning, students are encouraged to explore, question, create and solve real-world problems. The initiative aims to build scientific thinking, creativity and future-ready skills beyond the classroom.

ACT works with schools and local communities to create more engaging, welcoming and supportive learning environments. Our initiatives include school wall paintings, educational murals, learning spaces, basic infrastructure support, community awareness activities and resource development. By transforming physical spaces and strengthening community participation, we aim to make schools places where children feel inspired to learn and grow.

ACT creates opportunities for young people to learn, lead and contribute to their communities. Through volunteer engagement, youth leadership programmes, college ambassadors, student mentoring and community-based initiatives, young people develop communication, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills. Our mentoring approach connects students with volunteers and experienced professionals who guide them in academics, careers, personal growth and future opportunities.
