Every Child Deserves a School Bag, Not a Begging Bowl
Transforming Lives Through Education, Dignity, and Opportunity
A child is not born to beg. A child is born to learn, dream, explore, and build a meaningful future.
Yet across tribal and underprivileged communities, many children are still denied access to quality education because of poverty, social exclusion, and limited opportunities. At Shree Shakti Seva Kendra, we are working to change this reality since 2011.

No Child Should Have to Choose Between Survival and Education
For many children living in remote tribal regions, education remains a distant dream. Families struggling with poverty often prioritize daily survival over schooling. As a result, children become vulnerable to school dropouts, child labour, and child begging.
Without education, these children face limited opportunities and remain trapped in a cycle of poverty that continues for generations. But together, we can change this story.
Help a Child Stay in SchoolFrom Bhiksha to Shiksha
In 2011, Mrs. Usha Agarwal witnessed a heartbreaking reality in Ambaji. Young children were spending their days begging on Gabbar Hills instead of attending school.
Rather than offering temporary relief, she chose to address the root cause of the issue. This became the foundation of Shree Shakti Seva Kendra and its mission: "भिक्षा नहीं शिक्षा".
What started with a handful of children has evolved into a movement that has transformed hundreds of lives. Today, children who once carried begging bowls now carry books, dreams, and aspirations.
Education Changes Everything
Education is more than learning to read and write. It gives children the confidence and skills needed to build a better future. When one child receives an education, an entire family benefits.
Break the cycle of poverty
Education helps children access better livelihood opportunities and security, steering families out of multi-generational poverty.
Build self-confidence
Acquiring knowledge empowers children to express themselves confidently and recognize their true potential.
Access better opportunities
Opening academic avenues allows children to discover and pursue pathways in higher education and professional fields.
Make informed life decisions
Literacy drives critical reasoning, enabling kids to evaluate complex choices regarding health, career, and lifestyle.
Contribute positively to society
Educated youth build stronger civic values and participate actively in uplifting their local neighborhoods.
Support future generations
When a child receives an education today, they become parents who value and guarantee education for their own children tomorrow.

A Story of Transformation
A few years ago, several children in the Ambaji region spent their days begging instead of learning. Through continuous engagement, educational support, and family counselling, these children were enrolled in schools and encouraged to pursue their dreams. Today, many of them are continuing their education, participating in extracurricular activities, and inspiring younger children within their communities. Their journey reminds us that every child deserves an opportunity.
