Our Story


It was 08th July 2012 when the foundation of Ek PAHAL took place.
Manoranjan from Nalanda, Bihar after spending his first year at IIT Kanpur and attending Gramya Manthan - a program by Youth Alliance, he was reflecting about the ways to give back to society. He decided that this time after going to his hometown, he will at least share his story, experiences & learning with the children in the community.

An interactive session to impact perspective of 50-60 students was organised by Aasif Anwar, Manoranjan and Ravi Ranjan at Bihar Sharif, Nalanda on 08th July 2012. And after having the discussion with children, it came out that there is day by day decline in the creativity & confidence of students due to the way schooling is happening with them. In search of the solution of this problem led the conception of our first program ASLP - After School Learning Program.

In the year of initiation Ek PAHAL focused primarily on activity based learning, on means to impart Quality education with moral values. Apart from this we started to provide what the children from this small town wasn't getting like a number of interactive talks with local role models, sessions on book reading, life-long learning, Rubik's cube sessions, meditation sessions, summer camps, reflection sessions, tours etc.
Then we started various programs like Swamanthan - a self study group, Anwesha - an education beyond schooling for Govt. School going kids.

Currently Ek PAHAL is putting all its effort to transform our factory based school education system to humane based school education and envisioning a new kind of school - An idea of a community school.
