Hamara Gaon Program
• Pratham has developed a new nationwide educational initiative called Hamara Gaon. This initiative is to implement Prathams core programs at the rural level. The aim of this initiative is to ensure self learning communities and ownership in each of the targeted communities. The initiative includes multiple activities such as fairs in maths for the children. This took place in two locations, in Pimpri and In Nashik. In Pimpri it took place on the 22nd and the 25th of August, in Nashik it took place on the 24th and the 30th of August.
• The children in Nashik made a number of Geometric Shapes and models and they were assisted by other children in the community. Their parents proudly displayed it and showcased it to others. The similar activity took place in Pimpri where in order to reduce the fear and paralysis one feels with maths a fair in which the children actively engaged with it through building various mathematical and geometric shapes was conduected. The entire household of the child assisted them in building these shapes and models.
