Vandemataram Foundation

Vandemataram Foundation (VMF) was founded as on NGO established with an objective of inculcating such values amongst children. Focusing on the government schools in the backward areas, the Foundation works with the twin principles of extending academic and emotional support to the children and strengthening the infrastructural facilities in the schools. Making a village school the nodal point, the Foundation builds teams consisting of village elders, youth and alumni of the school. These teams working in tandem with the parents and teachers of the school actively involve the students in various constructive and creative activities. It is obvious that only those children who can not afford studies in private schools join government schools. Perhaps, such children may not get any guidance either from the parents or from any other source. We need to fill these lacunae by way of extending a helping hand to the poor children. Accordingly, Vandemataram Foundation works towards realizing its Vision of a noble society consisting of citizens with good character and patriotism brought through harmonious and sustainable cooperation between the government schools in the rural areas and the local community. VMF aims to realize this vision by working with the four major stakeholders, viz. Students studying in government schools Teachers employed in government schools Society comprising of parents of the students, the village communities, and other well wishers Government represented by Department of Education and any other relevant agencies VMF works in support of Government to strengthen the government schools through several activities that improves the student enrollment, student merits, and imparting morals in students. VMF also conducts research on teaching and student self study and provides consultancy to have the community involvement.
