India faces a rising challenge with school dropouts, particularly in rural areas. Many children are unable to attend school regularly due to various factors, including the need to help with household chores or supplement family income and the struggle to keep up academically. Over time, these hurdles can lead to disengagement and dropping out of school altogether. How Will This Project Solve the Problem? Since 2009, Agastya's "Night Village School" project has created an engaging and impactful environment to support students and school dropouts. With the help of local college volunteers, Agastya offers evening remedial lessons, allowing children who have missed out on school to catch up and rediscover their excitement for learning. By bringing education closer to home, this initiative helps students build confidence and, in many cases, return to regular classes, staying connected to the joy of discovery. Potential Long-Term Impact The project will lead to trigger positive behavioral shifts that lead to curious, confident, and humane individuals engaging creatively in their communities and eventually mainstreaming school dropouts. It will also elevate the educational status of children in every village and transform the level of empowerment in communities in the future. Children will be able to tackle local societal problems and come up with solutions to these issues.

The creative spirit lies at the core of Agastya’s philosophy of education. We believe all children possess an innate creativity that can be awakened through a journey of hands-on exploration, experimentation, discovery and application. OUR PHILOSOPHY Creating a culture of learning Agastya International Foundation is named for the revered Indian sage Agastya, a beacon of learning and spirituality who traveled across the Indian subcontinent espousing integration and harmony. The great sage is said to have crossed the Vindhyas from North India to Southern India, unified the two lands, created the Siddha school of herbal medicine and authored a grammar for Tamil Language (an ancient language that still flourishes). Our Inspiration Agastya Muni The Agastya learning experience The creative spirit lies at the core of Agastya’s philosophy of education. We believe all children possess an innate creativity that can be awakened through a journey of hands-on exploration, experimentation, discovery and application. Learning with Agastya is a journey that begins with piquing curiosity and excitement in the child’s mind. As she explores further, applying her mind and all five senses, she experiences the joy of creativity, discovery and comprehension. The opportunity to apply her learning and share it with her brings confidence and skill, and the urge to apply it in ways that make a difference to her community. At Agastya, the student is taught HOW to think, rather than WHAT to think; ; to apply her learning and innovate freely; and to do so with confidence andcaring for her everyday world. Agastya believes that creativity is a practice that can be cultivated. While urban, privileged communities are able to provide their students with the opportunity to explore their creativity in multiple ways, Agastya is committed to creating such opportunity for the broadest base of the Indian education system – disadvantaged rural and urban school children. In sparking curiosity , nurturing creativity and building confidence and caring in these children, we are building a generation of tinkerers, innovators and problem-solvers who we believe can change the world for the better.
