The guru in the Indian education system has been most revered by the shishyaas/students since ancient times. Even today from the time a child steps into a preschool till his journey through school and higher education it is the teacher who shapes the students interest and inclination towards the course of study. A teacher can rightly make or break a student's desire to excel in his/ her course and confidently start on life journey of continuous learning and self improvement. In the light of this social fact our Shiksha Sevikas (pre-school child teachers) should be qualified for imparting knowledge as per latest teaching/training curriculum requirements, have basic computer skills and have the right attitude to compassionately engage with children and their caregivers (parents & family elders). They need to be good learners, persuasive communicators, compassionate care givers and responsible individuals who adheres to social & family norms at the village level.

Our trained Shiksha Sevikas should be able to assess the learning and life improvement needs of her pre-school (0-5 years) children and set the pace of their curriculum-engagement as per their individual requirements.
