Shikshaangans – Nurturing Young Minds, Building Brighter Futures

Every child deserves an opportunity to learn, grow and realise their potential, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
Shreeram Radhakrishnan Memorial Trust runs 14 Shikshaangans — free coaching centres for children from underprivileged families. Outside regular school hours, our instructors provide academic support to students from Std. I to Std. X, helping them strengthen their understanding of school subjects and improve their performance.
But our Shikshaangans are much more than coaching centres. Along with academics, we focus on Spoken English, public speaking, confidence-building and practical skills that help children express themselves and face the world with greater confidence.
We believe that childhood should also be filled with joy, friendship and a sense of belonging. Festivals and special occasions such as Independence Day, Diwali, Christmas, New Year and Shivaji Jayanti bring our children together in celebration. We also provide essential items such as school bags, shoes, clothing, notebooks, storybooks and creative toys to support their learning and overall development.
For students attending non-municipal schools, the Trust also provides educational financial assistance to help ease the burden on families struggling to meet the cost of education.
Our aim is not merely to help children study, but to give them the confidence, opportunities and encouragement to build a better future. With the continued support of our donors and well-wishers, we strive to ensure that financial hardship does not stand in the way of a child’s dreams
