Our Key Programs

Transforming lives through education and skills across communities.

Grantha Mitra – Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN)

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.
