Tara Chand Saboo Award
For Excellence in field of Education 2009
Hamari Kaksha is a non-profit organization based in Chandigarh – The City Beautiful – since 2003. We provide education and hope to underprivileged children and their mothers. By taking a unique approach to educational training, we get these young minds to flourish and enable their personalities to shine bright.
In contributing to the national goal of “Education for All”, we have gone from 17 children of maids and daily wagers being taught by the NGO founder in her verandah in 2003 to 3 centres across Chandigarh serving more than 400 youngsters aged 5 to 15+ years in 2016. Hamari Kaksha takes pride in its slogan of “A Class Apart” by helping to create a helpful and caring environment for children in poverty to thrive, under the guidance of a core staff of 16 teachers and 12 teaching assistants (some of whom are former Hamari Kaksha alumni themselves). Many individuals and institutions have volunteered with us to contribute their time, effort, and energy to help these children unlock their potential.
We know that everyone deserves a chance – so we make it possible for children in poverty to surpass their circumstances. We ignite minds by rethinking what education looks like and developing unique and engaging methods of teaching. And we want to share them with the world, so no child is left behind.
Hamari Kaksha aims to empower women and children in poverty through access to education. We believe that we are helping create future generations of smarter, happier, and more productive citizens of the nation.
How do we know that the Hamari Kaksha model works?
Since 2003, we have seen these children breaking free of their inhibitions and doubts, and daring to dream beyond

I am Ankit Vanshraj I'm very thankful to be the part of Hamari kaksha. I won many competitions among my class mates who helped me to grow futher. The teachers have been very kind and supportive whether in a bad or good phase. They didn't only teach books but also enlighten me for the future and now I can do better in life because of their great teachings. I have a lack of words for the support they have given me. Atlast I want to say thank you for everything you have given me.
Good evening, my name is Ankit Kumar. And I am very lucky to be a student of our batch HK (Hamari Kaksha) ✨. The HK teachers have always supported me in my studies 📚 HK always celebrates every festival with joy and gives us amazing gifts 🎉🎁. They have also taken me to many places like a T20 match 🏏, Gadar 2 movie 🎬, Bird Park 🐦🌳, etc. They provided me with many stationery items like bags 🎒, notebooks 📓, pens 🖊️, pencils ✏️, etc., and even gave me specs for my weak eyes 👓. I received several scholarships for my academic performance 🏅💰. The biggest gift I’ve received is a desktop computer 🖥️, which is extremely helpful for me 💖.Thank you to all the teachers and especially Jyoti Ma’am ❤️. Thanks a lot! 👍
It has been a great experience to be a part of HK team.The after school activities helps us to transfer our knowledge we gained in our life to these children, so that they can choose career for themselves & be a good human being.Above all , a small contribution to the society from this platform.I am thankful for this opportunity. Vibha Dogra.
It is rightly said that Once a teacher, Always a teacher. For me, teaching has always been a passion , more than a profession . I came to know about Hamari Kaksha through some common friend & decided to approach them. It was a pleasure being with themThe working atmosphere at Hamari Kaksha the sincerity & dedication with which every educator taught & the keen enthusiasm of the learners was beyond measure. My brief stay with them was an excellent learning & bonding experience.I express my Gratitude to each &every member associated with the NGO. Geeta Malhotra
