What is AATMNIRBHAR Paathshala?
AATMNIRBHAR Paathshala is the flagship education initiative of AATMNIRBHAR NGO, running since 2020 in Jaipur, Rajasthan. "Paathshala" means "school" in Hindi — reflecting our belief that education is not a privilege, but a right that belongs to every child.
The program operates as a free evening learning center for children from slum communities and low-income households in Vidhyadhar Nagar and surrounding areas of Jaipur. Children who cannot afford private coaching, lack textbooks, or face barriers to regular school attendance find a safe, supportive learning environment at Paathshala.
Since its inception, Paathshala has reached 10,000+ children across 47+ villagesin Rajasthan. The program is entirely free — funded by individual donations, CSR partnerships, and volunteer contributions from the community.
