SIKSHASANDHAN

Sikshasandhan began its journey in the year 1995 as a resource centre for education. The founding of the organisation was propelled by the interest many of its founding members had in education. As most of them had practical experience working in education, they wanted to develop a deeper understanding of educational issues by engaging themselves in the education of marginalised children.
