The Le Meridien Nagpur collaborates with Skills on Wheels project of the Gulson Foundation along with Pratham Education Foundation.
/Gulson Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Mr. Gul Advani in the year 1994. Through the foundation, he has touched many lives and extended wholehearted support to various organizations providing support towards terminal and critical illnesses, primary health, education and poverty reduction. The Gulson Foundation launched the "Skills on Wheels" initiative with the goal of transferring skills and enhancing the opportunities available to children. As part of this project,
the NGO trains the disadvantaged people on the go in a variety of programmes, such as tailoring, basic computer training, baking, and beauty and wellness training.
They have two vans under this initiative that are intended and equipped to conduct classroom sessions in any distant area of the country. The cutting-edge truck is air-conditioned and furnished with benches, computers, and smart TVs, among other amenities. Additionally, they ran a 250 participant, agriculture-based training programme in 5 communities. 11 households have begun their own goat farming thanks to the Satara training programme in goat raising. Gulson Learning Center (Shirdi), which was founded with the intention of developing the skills of Rural India and providing wings to apply those talents, has already helped over 400 individuals and has a number of courses planned. They want to work with business to close the supply-demand gap and give disadvantaged youngsters opportunity.
Pratham is an innovative learning organization created to improve the quality of education in India. As one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the country, Pratham focuses on high-quality, low-cost, and replicable interventions to address gaps in the education system. Established in 1995 to provide education to children in the slums of Mumbai, Pratham has grown both in scope and geographical coverage.
Pratham means 'first' in Sanskrit. True to its name, it is the first major organization to achieve lasting, wide-scale success in India's educational landscape. This has been made possible due to various policies and strategies adopted by the organization. Over the years, Pratham's advocacy in the education sector has become well-recognized and regarded. The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) has become an important input in the education policies of both the central and state governments with several state governments using it.
