“That the students (of Muktangan) are getting into such competitive Universities (like KREA) is great validation that the work the team is doing is of high standards.”
“It has been a great experience to visit Muktangan which is trying to effect systemic change in school education, looking at quality at all levels.”
“Muktangan”, where children flourish in free aangan. What a pleasure it was to meet this “young” couple that is transforming how education and teaching can be delivered in a Municipal School in Mumbai. They are demonstrating how learning can be fun. Truly inspiring.”
“Muktangan schools are inspired and inspiring! Teachers have given students the power to imagine, to take a subject as dry as grammar, or as abstract as algebra – and bring it to life. I saw children create games, models and then confidently teach the concepts – with a sense of playfulness.”
“The education gap in Mumbai is very wide, Muktangan addresses this gap by working very closely with the Municipal Co-operation. My wife and I decided to help the teacher training initiative because we were impressed with Muktangan’s educational focus.”
“If you believe in the oft-repeated cliché that the future of any country is determined by how it educates its children then it must surely follow that increased scrutiny should be trained on how it educates its poorest children. Therein lies the true character of a nation. It is this field of work Muktangan has chosen to make its life calling. And India is the richer for it.”
“A phenomenal teacher education programme.”
“The Teacher Training program at Muktangan is one of its kind. It’s impressive to see how individuals are trained from various facets to be able to become teachers and provide education. At Muktangan, it is also a medium to provide education and employment to a person to be a teacher and spread education further.”
“I run the 42 km marathon in Mumbai each year to raise funds and help support Muktangan. It is a fabulous event with nearly 40,000 participants this year, many of whom are running to support various different charitable causes.”
“I have been running the Dream Run in the SCMM every year since its inception except the 2 years I was pregnant! I love running in the marathon! Not just because I am rather a running addict but also because it is a great way to raise funds for wonderful worthwhile causes like Muktangan, Magic Bus and the Cancer Patients Aid Association, all of which I ran for last year.”
