Prarambh, an educational mission to empower BPL students

Bangalore, May 8: National Olympiad Foundation (NOF) is introducing their new project 'Prarambh' which will aim to empower children belonging to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families.

Lack of awareness, infrastructure, knowledge, training material and guidance restrict the BPL students from entering into the competitive world at an early stage of their educational career. Prarambh will train these students and will avail them with some conceptual study material, guidance, training etc.

Later, NOF will conduct a test for these students without putting any load on their or their parent’s pocket. Under the project of 'Prarambh', NOF will train the teachers, so that the methodology of teaching can improve and children can get better quality of education rather than being deprived because of the financial crisis.
