STEP: Bridging Tertiary Education Divide

With a special focus on fields like Social Work and Psychology, we prepare students for undergraduate and postgraduate studies, addressing the challenges arising from the increasing presence of coaching institutes.
E-Learning Centre: Addressing the Digital Divide in Kattikulam
To address the digital divide, our dedicated E-Learning Centre stands proudly in Kattikulam. Through this center, we ensure that students from all backgrounds have equal access to quality education, transcending barriers and unlocking their potential.
Community Learning Centres: Empowering Vulnerable Sections
To cater to the educational needs of the most vulnerable sections, we have established 10 Community Learning Centres (CLCs) across Wayanad. Our focus lies on forest dwellers and bonded laborers, as we strive to create a conducive learning environment and opportunities for growth in these communities. CLCs in Punnassery, Tholpetty, Madathuvayal, Meenangadi, Pariyaram, Kolur, Vythiri, Kavadam, Sugandhagiri, and Madoor are beacons of hope, igniting the flames of knowledge in the hearts of the underprivileged.
Community Libraries: Nurturing Reading Habits in Tribal Villages
In tribal villages, we champion the love for reading through our community libraries, promoting education and empowering tribal children. With the "Donate a Book Programme" and active engagement of Children's Management Committees, we have successfully established six libraries so far, five in Wayanad and one in Nilambur. Our ambitious goal is to establish 100 libraries by 2025, enriching the lives of countless young minds.
