A holistic approach towards education furthers the socio-economic development of our nation. For the same reasons, every child must have access to education. Over the recent years, many initiatives have been undertaken to push this agenda, and rightly so. However, there are still plenty of barriers to the proliferation of education in remote areas of the country, primarily due to a lack of technological and infrastructural development.

Bilakhia Group is constantly working towards improving the Indian education system at the grassroots level through its not-for-profit organisation, Maa Foundation. An initiative started by the Bilakhia Family, Maa Foundation works tirelessly to devise comprehensive education and skills development programs for students across the country. These projects are thoroughly documented to make scalable, sustainable, and result-oriented models that can be implemented throughout the Indian education system.

The Foundation believes that humanity, creativity, imagination, and growth are the pillars of human development and society. Its programs are designed for the overall development of the next generation while keeping in mind these four pillars. They are aimed at students, teachers, and parents who form an integral part of the education system. Some noteworthy initiatives developed by Maa Foundation over the recent years include:

● Disha - Career testing and counselling for the masses using technology.
● Science on Wheels - To inculcate an interest in science using the mobile infrastructure.
● Parvarish - Workshop for parents with children across different age groups.
● Prabhodan - Motivating young minds to take charge of their career and future.
● Lakshya - A project to bridge the gap between education and employment.
● Unnati - Imparting 21st-century skills required for employment.
● Gyan - A program to empower teachers through training programs.
● Vikas - Incorporating activity-based learning for real-life skill development.
● Vidhya - Scholarships for deserving and needy students.

Maa Foundation aims at transforming rural area schools into role models for the education sector through its activity-based learning programs. These programs go beyond the education front and take a deep dive into the inculcation of skills that are required for employment. The Foundation's focus is also directed toward teachers and parents who are a part of the country's education system as any other student. Besides the projects mentioned above, Maa Foundation also offers scholarships for girls, pre-primary teachers training, and free aptitude tests so that education is not restricted and can freely flow through the masses.
The Bilakhia Group, through Maa Foundation, aims to bring about educational reforms that will lead to the development of students and the holistic system. These programs are scalable and can be easily implemented throughout the country, leading to progress and development.
