Testimonials
The period at Pratham Mysore wasn’t just a Social Relevant Project rather it was a transformative experience filled with profound gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to rural education. Pratham Mysore, a non-profit championing educational equality in underprivileged communities across Karnataka, has been instrumental in improving lives, and I was honoured to be part of their mission.
While working at Pratham Mysore, I was struck by the differences between my privileged upbringing and the realities faced by children in these remote villages. This awareness ignited a burning desire within me to do more, to extend my hand and help bridge this educational gap.
Our group’s primary task involved surveying to assess the effectiveness of Pratham’s innovative “Model village” program in select rural Mysore villages. This unique program implements a specialized teaching methodology for core subjects like Kannada, English and Mathematics. Additionally, Pratham Mysore has established well-equipped e-learning spaces in these villages, where students benefit from computers - assisted learning through projectors and other resources.
To measure the program’s impact, we conducted standardized tests for student’s in two model villages evidence of its success.
Thank you so much Pratham Mysore, the experience was very impactful.
I am closely watching the activities of Pratham Mysore for more than a decade. They are known for their selfless work with only intention of serving the needy in the society. I am associated with their Student Mentoring Programme (SMP) and I have counselled a high school girl as a Mentor for more than a year. Their SMP is a unique programme that should be emulated by other NGO's for the benefit of the rural children.
Pratham Mysore has been a partner to implement the Learning Spaces project for 5 years now. I feel grateful that I found the Pratham as our first partner to implement the vision I had about Learning Spaces. They had the insight to see the vision, and grit to see it through. Working with Pratham has been an awesome experience. The whole team is extremely professional, hardworking, and well connected with key people in government and community. They work with the communities as they truly believe in the cause. I wish more NGOs had the passion that Pratham has.

FAQs
PM’s MV program is an initiative to improve learning in primary school children in four govt primary schools in T.Narasipura Taluk in Mysore District. It is different to the extent that this model is based on the premise that education happens not merely in the classroom but from every experience of living in a community. Every agency associated with the child has a lesson to teach. The home, the play ground, the community and the school determine the quality of learning.
Though the process started during 2018, the program was interrupted due to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic. It was started again during April 2022 after the schools reopened.
The promise of a better education and a better future for their children is what drives the program. Witnessing the improved levels of learning, other villages too want to join the program.
