Totem Resource Centre takes great strides in fostering a bright future for the students of marginalized communities in Kerala through the "Student Transformation and Empowerment Programme." This online educational assistance project aims to uplift high school and higher secondary students by providing them with valuable training and guidance from experts in various fields. Entirely free of cost, the programme offers flexibility through platforms like YouTube, Google Meet, and Jitsi, where students can access classes and submit assignments.

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.

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.

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.
