The vision of this project, i name it as Pradeepam is to empower lesser-privileged children with access to information by teaching them compter & internet and thus the opportunity. To make the youth confident though learning and various self-improvement techniques with dare-devil fearless attitude.
PAAD(Professional Association of Action&Develoment) : PAAD’s education project in the community and it comprises of dropout center(Sevamandir) ,support center (Prerna) for school going children and the preschool(Balbharati). These education centers are run by PAAD in collaboration with the community and capacity building is a part of it. The Sevamandir is PAAD’s alternative education framework.




Deepam as an idea was initiated in January 2008 when Ram Viswanathan discussed ‘giving-back’ to the society, over an early morning run with Karthikeyan. Since then, a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers have made the idea, a reality.

Kick-staring of Computer Education in Sikarchandi, Bhubaneswar


Mostly volunteers of ArtofLiving(ArtofLiving.Org) are associated with PAAD and we all decided to have a go. We planned to give education on 2 categories. One is below 18 and the other is above 18. We visualize getting them absorbed after the completion of the course as a data entry operator with assurance from some good-hearted people. If in worst case, we don’t make them getting a job we will be satisfied getting them an education.
