Ten Years of Pehchaan The Street School

The journey of Pehchaan The Street School started in 2015, Mr Aakash Tandon took the  initiative with his childhood friends Kanika Narula, Sam Pillai, Leejo Joy, and Monica Vamdar. He shares that when they first time visited the huge slum existing behind a WHO building in Delhi they all get taken aback to see the situation of the area.
The belief that every child deserves education and should not be deprived of it due to any economic or societal constraints drove them further to do something for the welfare of the underprivileged children.

Those who hold courge in their heart to bring change for better gradually lead the Karwaan to a world for all.

Initially the team started started teaching the children by going to their residing places in slum areas or on nearby streets and did voluntary work. With time, the residents also started cooperating, as they recognised the hard work putted in, and granted them places like temples etc to take the classes. With the support of various compassionate individuals and the sheer determination of the team soon the small initiative transited into a well recognised organisation with 1600+ stundents and around 500-600 ground voluntees, also there are a lot of people connected through online platform with it. 


EVERY ACT OF COMPASSION NUDGES THE WORLD INTO A BETTER PATH.


As the word 'Pehchaan' itself reflects the purpose of the organisation, it aims to provide 'indentity' to all those children and their dreams which get crused under the burden of poverty and deprivation. Along with elementary education, Pehchaan also focuse on the enhancement of skills among students so they don't lag behind in any field.
As the organisation completely runs on crowd funding, it remarkably sets the example that together if work for good, we can surely make notable changes for the betterment of our society and in turn create a better world.

Recently, ‘Brain Rot’ has been chosen as the Oxford word of the year. It is defined as, “Supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration."( https://corp.oup.com/news/brain-rot-named-oxford-word-of-the-year-2024/ ) We are all in a rush, running after something we are supposed to be, based on established norms. Our brain has a tendency to make speculations about future comings, with even meager ideas. As manifest is another word of the year (Cambridge Dictionary). The phrase "to manifest" is widely used on social media in the sense that 'to use methods such as visualisation and affirmation to imagine achieving something that you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen.' The idea is based on a spiritual ph...

Are we becoming opinionated?

  Opinions always affect you in some way or another, no matter how much you try to isolate yourself. As with social media, it has become easier to share viewpoints; it has become harder to deny the fact that judgments are an integral part of a society. It's in human nature to form perceptions about something on the basis of their own experiences in life; by discerning and comparing, we reach a perspective that we consider right without actually looking at the reasons behind particular behaviors or actions.  Every person goes through different circumstances in his or her life; we never know each other fully or to the extent that we can put ourselves in the other person's state of affairs while making speculations. The lines by Thomas Cooley rightly reflect how we act in a society: "I'm not who you think I am; I'm who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am.'' We seek validations; the nature of our conduct differs with changing interactions....
