Creating access to education support, child education and learning opportunities that help children and youth build confident, empowered futures.
Education & Youth
Our Education Support Programs create access to learning for children and young people across Cuttack district. As an education NGO we focus on child education support and educational development: the annual felicitation of the district's best Matriculation students, school art competitions, and the Odisha Yuva Sansad youth parliament.
Each year the Foundation felicitates the top ten and every A1-grade student in the Cuttack district Matriculation examinations. Students come to a packed auditorium with their parents and teachers, and receive a trophy and a certificate from the hands of guests on stage.
The ceremony is deliberately formal, a lamp lighting, an Odissi performance, dignitaries in attendance, a full house. For many of the students it is the first time their work has been recognised outside their own school.
In February 2026 the Foundation also ran an art competition, 'Our Flag, Our Story', celebrating Odisha culture. Open to classes five to ten at Cambridge School, Barabati Stadium, with prizes of ₹5,000, ₹3,000 and ₹2,000.
