GD Goenka School, New DelhiThe association with GD Goenka School in Dwarka, is an old one, that began with a school run for the underprivileged children that the class came to visit. But that visit soon turned into a long-standing relationship, as the students of GD Goenka offered to help students at Anand Vidyalaya with academics, cultural activities as well as art & craft sessions. The bonding developed so well that the students today, share lunch once a week & GD Goenka students now prefer to come twice a week. A positively-enriching experience for both groups of students.

The children are taught all course subjects like English, Hindi, Maths, Science apart from participating in activities such as art &craft, drawing, story telling etc. They are also taught dhyan which they practice everyday, thereby aiding them in their holistic development.

Victoria Primary School, Kolkata
25 kids at the Victoria Primary School are provided with mid-day meals by volunteers of Dhyan Yog Society. These are kids who live on pavements and are denied basic nutrition. Through this initiative the kids are also motivated to come to school and get an education, which eventually will help them get off the streets and to a constructive life ahead. On special occasions volunteers also surprise the kids with toys, stationery and clothes depending on their prevalent needs. No matter how small an effort we make, it has the potential to spring up to something big. This is one such endeavor from our volunteers.
