Mumbai, March 8 (NationPress) To enhance students’ learning abilities and improve educational outcomes, Adani Electricity and Adani Foundation celebrated the third edition of their annual ‘Utthan Utsav’ on Saturday.
The initiative has significantly improved the learning results for more than 25,000 students across 83 BMC schools in regions like Malad, Dahisar, Borivali, Chembur, and Kurla, as reported by the company.
‘Utthan’ focuses on adopting government primary schools, mentoring ‘Priya Vidyarthis’ (progressive learners), tackling dropout rates, and collaborating to enhance staff capabilities.
Empowered educators, referred to as ‘Utthan Sahayaks’, along with teachers and parents, work collaboratively to boost foundational learning and numeracy skills of the students.
“Adani Electricity is dedicated to the all-round development of the communities we serve. The Utthan initiative exemplifies our commitment to empowering young minds and crafting a brighter future for Mumbai. We take pride in the transformative impact this initiative has had on thousands of students,” stated a spokesperson from Adani Electricity.
The event also marked the unveiling of a coffee table book that highlights the journey and accomplishments of ‘Project Utthan’.
As part of the festivities, several cultural and interschool competitions, including elocution, essay-writing, drawing, and upcycling projects, were organized for the BMC school students.
Thanks to ‘Project Utthan’, assessment reports show up to 98 percent proficiency in numeracy and over 90 percent in reading and writing among the Utthan students.
A remarkable 99.31 percent of students rated Project Utthan as ‘Good’ or ‘Better’.
The initiative's success stems from its customized curriculum, effective teaching-learning materials (TLM), Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) designs, and a strong emphasis on fostering a reading culture.
“Through interactive teaching methods, activity-based learning, and digital resources, we have started to enjoy subjects like language and mathematics more,” said Nidhi Adsure, a class 6 student at Chembur Naka Marathi BMC school.
Jayshree Chavan, Principal of Marvali Marathi BMC School, expressed that “thanks to Project Utthan, quality education is reaching students from the most underserved communities, transforming our schools into environments of opportunity and hope.”
In collaboration with the BMC, Adani Electricity and Adani Foundation recently distributed 20,000 scholarship preparation books to 5,541 students and provided 12,000 library books to 82 BMC schools, benefiting 25,000 students.
