Signal School, Naka School, Great Cleanliness Campaign, and Project Revitalization – These are ideas that dream of changing the world. These ideas were born from the fundamental energy of Samarth Bharat Vyaspeeth.

Bringing children of beggars from the streets into the mainstream education system is not just an achievement of the Signal School, but the manifestation of the fundamental thought “May all be happy, may all be free from illness.” The innovative idea behind Naka School is to provide skill-based training to unskilled construction laborers, who, while fulfilling the dream of building people’s homes, are themselves living as homeless and displaced.

The concept of the Great Cleanliness Campaign was realized by halting the unscientific disposal of waste and transforming it into useful compost. The idea behind this is to break the chain of five elements — earth, water, fire, air, and sky — that have created the universe.

For the past twelve years, Samarth Bharat Vyaspeeth has been working in Thane city, near Mumbai, India. Through the Signal School, the organization has established a model to bring children of beggars into the mainstream education system. The organization also started the Naka School to provide skill-based training to unskilled workers. Additionally, 3,000 tons of green waste are processed annually in Thane city to produce charcoal, and 2,000 tons of organic waste are processed each year. Through 50 self-help groups, the organization is working to bring economic independence to 500 economically disadvantaged women.
