Activities

Every act of kindness inspires another, and as the saying goes, “The best way to encourage others is to set an example.”

The grandchildren of one of Sahayata’s senior members recently spent time with our children, sharing moments of interaction, learning, and joy.

Harshvardhan Singh, currently studying in Class 10 in Mumbai, and his cousins Rudra Singh (Class 10) and Diya Singh (Class 4), who are based in Hong Kong, joined in this meaningful experience.

Such visits remind us that intentional change is built through small acts of involvement and shared experiences. We are grateful to everyone who takes the time to connect with our children and contribute, in their own way, to Sahayata’s ongoing mission of care and support.

Today at Colvin School, glucose boxes were distributed among students to help them cope with the intense heat. This meaningful initiative was carried out in collaboration with sahayata NGO, sati maharani Jan Kalyan Trust Amethi, under the dabur Nutrition Support Program.

The aim of this initiative was to spread awareness about health and provide essential nutrition and energy support to children during the summer season. Seeing the smiles and enthusiasm of the children made the effort truly rewarding.

Small acts of service like these help build a healthier and stronger future for our society.

We are delighted to share the wonderful achievement of our girls from the Colvin Centre in the UP Board Class 10 examinations.

With the constant guidance and encouragement of our dedicated teachers, the students have once again made us proud by securing First Division marks.

At Sahayata Tuition Centres in Colvin & Chetna, every step forward is powered by your support.

Through our fundraisers, held throughout the year, we’ve been able to provide computers and laptops to the children—opening doors to learning, curiosity, and a brighter digital future.

But education goes beyond books. Alongside academics, we are nurturing independence by teaching vocational skills, music, dance, stitching, embroidery, art, and physical training.

Because true empowerment means giving every child the tools to learn, create, grow stronger, and stand on their own feet.

These very funds are also helping us renovate the blind school—creating safer, better spaces for learning and living.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with Sahayata.

Flashback 2016

At Chattarmanzil and Mahmoodabad Palace , Sahayata and UP Tourism hosted an evening dedicated to Awadhi food, its heritage, and its future. Dr. Ali Khan Mahmudabad spoke on how recipes are shaped by culture, family, and climate, urging that traditions must adapt to stay alive. Chef Pankaj Bhadouria highlighted Awadhi cuisine’s balance of taste and nutrition, while Kanak Rekha Chauhan brought a lyrical touch with verses of Malik Muhammad Jayasi, linking poetry and culinary history.

The conversation also explored the need for cuisine tourism by branding Lucknow’s food, ensuring its authenticity is preserved while making it relevant for today. Set against the grandeur of the palace, the evening blended scholarship, storytelling, and flavour, capturing the timeless spirit of Awadhi cuisine.

Mrs Sarita Kapur, our dedicated teacher at Sahayata Coaching Center, takes immense pride in her 10-year journey of working with underprivileged children. Alongside her co-teacher, Mrs. Savita Shukla, she has been contributing tirelessly to uplift young learners and help them realize their potential.

Reflecting on her journey, Mrs. Kapur shares that she has witnessed firsthand how small but consistent efforts can leave a lasting impact on a child’s life. Many of her students, who maintained 100% attendance and showed unwavering dedication, have successfully completed their 12th grade and secured admission into reputed colleges in the town, including National Christian College.

Under the umbrella of Sahayata, Mrs. Kapur and her team have been able to reach more children and create a nurturing environment beyond academics. Festivals, occasions, and activities organized at the center have helped students grow into confident individuals with a sense of belonging and joy. The involvement of alumni, students who once studied at the coaching center and have now returned to mentor younger batches, has further strengthened the cycle of growth and support.

The organization has always stood by the teachers, encouraging and celebrating their efforts. Looking ahead, Sarita envisions expanding into areas such as music, sports, and other creative activities, which will give children broader opportunities for holistic development. She believes that by investing in education, health, and overall well-being, society can build a brighter and more sustainable future.

Above all, Mrs. Kapur feels deeply proud of her students. To her, each child is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and potential, and nurturing that individuality has been her greatest reward.

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY !!!

We create before we celebrate. Our children at Sahayata engaged in a fun-filled rakhi-making day guided by our talented teachers. While the boys had their hands adorned with handmade Rakhis, the girls were very thoughtfully gifted pretty bangles by the teachers.

A bright and colourful celebration of an everlasting bond.

This year students at Sahayata centres organized a small ceremony to express their gratitude to their teachers, guides and mentors at both centres. It was a heartwarming interaction that made us feel so joyous and validated for all the work and effort put into nurturing these young souls.

Sahayata organized a career counseling session in August for students at its center with Navigate Growth, a skill development community. Niharika Gangwar, the founder of Navigate Growth, led the forum. The senior students engaged actively and had good interactive sessions with the team.

The discussion was both insightful and guidance-oriented, helping the students gain clarity on their future paths and how to harness their skills effectively. Such opportunities are invaluable for their personal and professional growth.

This year’s Independence Day afternoon was spent with the children of Chetna School, an initiative of the Sahayata Foundation. With teachers and Sahayata members present, the students enthusiastically performed various dances and street skits with patriotism and pride at being Indian shining bright.

It was truly inspiring to see the children showcase their talents and confidence.

This Mother’s Day was a special occasion at Sahayata tuition center, Colvin College.

The children expressed their gratitude and admiration for the unconditional care and support of their mother’s by performing dances, songs and quotes.

‘An investment in education pays the best interest.’

Sahayata, through its educational centers, works to provide quality education to underprivileged children, who, inspite of obstacles, display a spark, eagerness, and dedication to study. The excellent results of the students are owed to the hard work of both our teachers and students and we are delighted to hear that their efforts were fruitful!

A felicitation programme was held on the 28th of July for the students who scored first-division marks in their 10th boards for the academic year 2022-2023. The students were-

Akleema Khatoon
Kajal Kashyap
Khushi Kashyap
Shafiqul
Kanhiya Kashyap
Komal

The members of Sahayata lauded the efforts of these students, who were awarded trophies, cash prizes, and other tokens of merit. As part of the felicitation programme, an entertainment session was put up by the students, showcasing their skills.

Sahayata encourages these meritorious students to continue their hard work, for it is their efforts that set an example for their fellow students and serve as inspiration to their juniors.

It was a performance match of different NGOs. And Sahayat children performed the best

Sahayata team were the winners.

The sports we immerse ourselves in as children lay the groundwork for future success, from simple games at home to organized team events, each minute is a lesson in dexterity, agility and working together with efficiency and empathy. Sahayata believes that a child’s mental developement and education can only be optimized in an environment that lays emphasis on physical development and outdoor games.

Project Khel recently organized an Inter-NGO sports competition and Sahayata is extremely proud to announce that a team of Sahayata students were placed first in the Frisbee competition.

Spearheaded by Mr Akshai Abraham, who founded the organization in 2012, Project Khel seeks to create a safe learning space on the playground where children can open up and express themselves freely. Project Khel aims to inculcate qualities like self discipline, empathy, confidence, teamwork, communication and leadership skills ; qualities that not only make a good sportsman, but will also help the student in all aspects of their life.

Sahayata congratulates the members of the Sahayata Frisbee team on their victory. In the words of Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the Modern Olympic Games, “The most important thing in sports is not winning but taking part; it is not conquering but fighting well” and we are extremely grateful to Project Khel for providing the students with an opportunity to hone and develop their abilities in the field of sports.

Sahayata works to provide quality education to the underprivileged through its educational centres at Colvin Taluqdars’ College and Chetna School for Mentally Challenged Children and is delighted to announce the excellent class 10 final examination results of five of its students. Savita Ma’am and Sarita Ma’am, teachers at the educational centres have worked tirelessly with the students for the past three to four years, who have shown a marked improvement in their examination marks under their able guidance.

Sahayata congratulates the students and their families, and extends a very sincere thanks to the teachers for their verve and perseverance in tutoring the children, whose results we are very proud to declare-

Akhleema- 78.33%
Shafiqul- 68%
Kajal- 71%
Khushi- 74%
Kanhiya- 55%
