Welcome
“What sculpture is to a block of marble,
education is to a human life”
Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
With this belief, OM foundation launched its first initiative in the form of OM Foundation School in the year 2002 with 20 underprivileged children from the villages of Hoshiarpur and Morna in a small rented room. What started six years ago as a small attempt to bridge inequities in education has now grown with over 160 student and classes up to standard VI. Right from its inception, our motto at OM foundation is to ensure quality at all levels, be it classrooms, teachers or facilities like computers, library or playground. With the support of corporate community, especially British Gas and EXL, we have been able to provide these facilities to our children at OM Foundation.
In a few years, the OM Foundation School has proven that it is possible to translate a clear vision and commitment to constructive change and consequently into a tangible, very promising educational program. What we have accomplished so far is only one step to what we intend to achieve. Our endeavor is to ensure that all children get a chance to learn and grow so that they understand the world better and reach to their highest potential. In future, the Foundation plans to start ”Employability Skills Development Program” to assure promising and lucrative careers for the graduates of OM Foundation. Over time, their success will lead to improved economic opportunities for their families and communities, which will positively contribute to India’s economic promise.
Once it has been expanded and reaches its full potential, OM Foundation will serve as a natural model for similar educational efforts throughout India. In addition, with its strategy to become a self-sustainable foundation will serve as a model on how to structure charitable causes cost-effectively and help secure their staying power over time.
The task before us is daunting but we know that we can make it possible. “
