Blue Parijaat Foundation Supports Education and Community Learning
Blue Parijaat Foundation is a group that helps people support their community.
Its founder, Manvi Singh, wanted to connect people who needed help with people who wanted to give it.
Project Vijetaas helps students who are struggling to pay for their studies.
Students can get support for courses such as medicine, engineering and pharmacy, as well as sessions on useful life skills.
The foundation also runs Learning Adda in Karjat.
Children in classes 1 to 7 go there in the evenings to learn through books, stories, songs and other activities.
The goal is to make learning enjoyable and help children feel curious.
Dr Smriti Jha says she has seen students’ lives change through the foundation’s work.
Founder-director Manvi Singh established Blue Parijaat Foundation to connect people who need support with people seeking ways to help.
Project Vijetaas began around 2020 to help students facing financial hardship complete undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
The programme supports professional studies including medicine, engineering, pharmacy and software-related fields, and offers life-skills sessions.
Learning Adda, the foundation’s Karjat centre, provides evening learning activities for children in classes 1 through 7.
Senior Radiologist Dr Smriti Jha said she has seen the programme benefit students and help rebuild their confidence.
