Jeevan-Path is an initiative designed for children aged 6 years to 9 years enrolled in government schools, with a primary focus on bridging learning gaps and delivering quality education. This program recognizes that each student has unique learning needs and that education extends beyond academics. It encourages students to learn through imagination, observation, and hands-on experiences. The students are engaged in project-based learning, with projects tailored to their capabilities, allowing them to work independently. Jeevan-Path sessions are held daily at the primary government schools, providing continuous support for students’ educational development. Currently, the program reaches 20 schools across five districts of West Bengal—South 24 Parganas, North 24 Parganas, Purulia, Jalpaiguri, and Alipurduar and one district of Jharkhand – Dumka. The program is benefiting 1400+ primary school student.

The Jeevan path sessions are facilitated for meeting twin objectives. First, the child should learn innovatively to fluently read, write correctly, comprehend, and solve appropriately. Second, children’s learning in classroom to be integrated with the environment outside and will restore school ecology (teacher-student, teacher-parents, parents-children, children-children) by caring concerns within the democratic polity of the country.

Regular workshops with children, youth, and teachers in primary school on language, Math and environment are being organised to boost the knowledge, skills, and practice and fill the learning gap in a fearless environment where rote learning is completely discarded.

SPAN is also ensuring all the children returning and cent percent attendance of children by making door to door visits to spread awareness around education and related issues.

26 local young graduates and college-goers as volunteers took leadership in the process. They got the initial training. They are participating in these Jeevan Path workshops and accelerate the learning process with the guidance of the local teachers. They are the child rights defenders of their locality.

Besides, Jeevan Path truly adheres the principles and norms evolved from the National Education Policies of 1968, 1986, 1992 and Kothari commission Report. It also follows and tries to see RTE Act as the reality. SPAN has developed a detailed module for Jeevan Path by consulting several teachers.
