Get to Know Us

Our NGO offers after-school programs for less privileged girl children and assist in their holistic development, so they may discover their inner potential and become self-sufficient. We take innovative approaches to redefine the child’s strengths by organizing various academic and non-academic camps, workshops and specific programs. 

Ms. Devi Anbanandan, our founder trustee, is a visionary who aims to create equal and exemplary opportunities for girls from disadvantaged families. Her vision translates to action at Nirnayam, offering an all-encompassing curriculum and innovative pedagogy that caters to different aspects of the cognitive and emotional development of our girls. Our well-connected network of generous donors, high-spirited volunteers, well-wishers, and mentors, who have joined us from all walks of life, form the Nirnayam team.

Our Impact

Learning must extend beyond the classrooms and foster holistic development. We believe that by providing different co-curricular activities, we can impact our next-generation learners. Thanks to your unwavering support, we have been able to make a positive impact on the lives of so many children.

Our volunteers invest time and effort in ascertaining each child’s cognitive and learning abilities, to support them accordingly. The students are mapped to the correct ‘level’ they are at, irrespective of the class they are studying in, taking their learning history into account. For the slow learners, we have enhancement classes to ensure a safe, slow-paced and non judgmental forum to clear doubts.

Our home visit programs ensure consistent liaising with the student’s family, seeking feedback, and reassuring them of their ward’s progress. Their wholehearted trust and support are a huge motivation for the girls to put their best foot forward, resulting in 95% attendance in all Programs.

Our innovative and smart teaching tools for all subjects involve audio and video support, offering our girls a fun, interactive, and engaging learning experience.

We organize educational trips every year to unique places that pique the curiosity of our children; thus, enabling them to connect with what they have learned and intrigue them to learn more.

Awareness is created for our girls on menstrual hygiene, child sexual abuse, gender discrimination, etc. We have regular workshops on identifying, reporting, and seeking help for sexual harassment or abuse.

Why a holistic approach?

Many of us have the opportunity to discover our innate abilities and utilize them; however, disadvantaged girls invariably do not get adequate opportunities. They are either married early on or made to work for the family, which undermines their inherent potential. Nirnayam’s programs nurture them holistically to identify their strengths and leverage them to become self-sufficient.
