Education
Education is dedicated to improving the learning environment and future opportunities for students in Bharog Baneri. We work with schools and community members to expand access to technology, promote extracurricular growth, and provide mentorship that supports students during and beyond secondary school. Our goal is to make sure every student has the resources and support they need to learn, grow, and pursue their aspirations.
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
— John Dewey
Project Highlights
Career Panel
Hosts an annual career panel for students in grades 11–12 at Bharog Baneri's Secondary School, inviting speakers from IIM Sirmaur and Central University of Himachal Pradesh who talk to students about paths to higher education, how to choose a suitable career path, and how they selected their careers. This provides students with the opportunity to learn about future careers in an interactive, small-group setting.
Teacher Interviews
During the annual India Trip, meets with teachers at the secondary school and local primary schools to identify gaps in education and learn more about the hurdles students face in attending school. Learned how issues such as infrastructural problems, teacher absenteeism, and a lack of opportunity within STEM subjects affect student learning.
IIM Sirmaur / JAL Partnership
Established connections with professors and JAL, a community-service student group at IIM Sirmaur, a nearby university in Paonta Sahib. During the 2026 India Trip, conducted a focus-group session with multiple professors at IIM Sirmaur to receive feedback on past and current projects and identify sustainable opportunities for further work. We are working to develop this into a more formal partnership to bring some of JAL's projects to Bharog Baneri.
Past Projects
STEMRobo Robotics Workshop
In September 2025, partnered with the organization STEMRobo to conduct a robotics workshop at the secondary school, including the donation of multiple robotics kits that gave students a hands-on way to learn more about technology and hardware.
Kabbadi Mats
Students and teachers expressed interest in developing the children's sportsmanship, as many already play sports competitively at a high level and have the opportunity to receive scholarships. Education oversaw the donation of kabbadi mats to the secondary school, allowing students to practice more easily while at school.
Textbook Donation
As part of a larger ongoing library project, RISHI oversaw the donation of multiple General Knowledge, English, and exam-preparation textbooks that align with and support the existing curriculum at the school. The textbooks are still widely used by teachers.
Infrastructural Support
Over the years, Education has supported various infrastructural projects within the school, such as constructing an entrance gate, repairing old desks, facilitating the purchase of water filters, and securing supplemental technology for the computer lab.
