Projects of Path foundation

Project name - Rural Education for formers

Objective - To educate farmers about new hybrid crop varieties as well as how to cultivate these crops.

Coverage area - U.P & Bihar
Target - To run in at least 20 Rural districts.

Activities - Volunteers go into rural villages and educate people about the hybrid crops they can earn high profits from and also to make them aware of the brands of seeds and industries that are engaged in agriculture. The Society establishes relations with industries and provides the hybrid seeds and fertilizers to farmers directly, so that the farmers benefit more from such procurement. We also spread awareness among the farmers in developing economical biofuel units,  cultivating medicinal plants and delivering them to our PATH FOUNDATION nodal centers

Desirable output - Monthly meetings on a regular basis with farmers at the PATH FOUNDATION nodal centers where they provide their feedback. Farmers are now cultivating flowers and medicinal plants, planting neem and bamboo trees, building biofuel units and more.. to raise their income and living status.  Society volunteers participate in open door discussions with farmers and take their feed back in ways to improve the rural condition.
Drawback - Unavailability of soil test at village level by way of mobile vans. So we achieve less productivity of crops and are not able to reach targets.


Project name- Padhta Bachpan

Objective -To educate children of ages 2 - 5 years through toys, models, charts and also develop their intellect and understanding about family and society and  to motivate them to come for education in our centers.

Activities - We educate children of 2 - 5 years. We visit each guardian's house to report the progress of their child. Periodic meetings are organized with guardians and we also meet with Govt. & Private school Teachers and provide facilities for the children above 5 years in regard of their education and skills. Also we organize monthly staff meetings for checking the progress of the Project.

Target - To open centers in 100 villages in each district. (People are welcome to contribute)
Area coverage – UP & BIHAR.

Output - Personality development in children. Children are better educated and well developed. Increase in literacy. Motivation towards education amongst villagers. Use of toys and charts attract children towards education.Parents offer their appreciation and gratitude to our organization for our social mission.


Project name- Youth Health Awareness Promotion Programme.

Objective - To provide awareness of communicable diseases such as Leprosy, AIDS, HIV, Cancer, Polio, Blindness, Dengue, Chicken Gonia etc. amongst people.

Activities -We organize awareness campaigns against communicable diseases and provide the information of sources and symptoms of disease, how to prevent them naturally if  possible. We also help the people who are suffering from these diseases. PATH FOUNDATION  provides free Medical Counseling Centers and promotes the utilization of natural cures, natural therapy and Yoga for drug addiction.
Target - To open centers in 100 villages in each district. (People are welcome to contribute)

Area coverage – UP & BIHAR

Output - People in rural areas are benefited and motivated not to take drugs and alcohol.Most of them are able to understand how communicable diseases are spread by carelessness. As a result they take more care in cleaning the neighborhood and start benefiting from government schemes such as National Rural Health Mission. Many come to our camps and take health consultation and support our PATH FOUNDATION  mission.


Project name- Education on Wheel for BPL Children. 

Objective - The Education on Wheels brings education to children who do not go to regular school. These children may be forced to work because of poverty, or there may be no nearby government school, or they and their parents may not understand the value of education.
Activities - The Education on Wheels reaches out to them by bringing a school to where they live. It provides informal schooling on sidewalks and in spare corners of slums. Even though the ‘centres’ usually consist of no more than a rug laid on the ground and a blackboard propped against a wall, they represent all the education some children will ever get. PATH FOUNDATION  provides Two teachers travel by van to a total of 6 centres a day. Each teacher visits the same three centres every day, four days a week, and teach English, Maths and Hindi at each for 2-3 hours. After class they distribute a nutritious meal and at least once a week

Target - To Run atleast 5 VAN’s to for covering vide area . (People are welcome to contribute)
Area coverage – UP & BIHAR

Output - Unlike many government schools, the Education on Wheels centres are fun and child-friendly. The teachers are diligent and loving and successfully manage to inspire large groups of children of all ages to attend. To begin with the challenge is to motivate the children to sit peacefully during the class, but soon they are keen to learn and make great progress.
In addition to learning to read, write and calculate, the children are taught social behavior and about the world and possibilities beyond their neighborhood. The health of the children improves as they learn personal hygiene, get vaccines and have the courage to go to hospitals. They also learn of the dangers of tobacco and drugs, and are made aware of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS. Local communities appreciate the project and, on seeing the results, are invariably eager for it to continue.
