Today, the organisation boasts of more than 300 students with branches in Delhi, Gurugram and Bangalore. Sarvam Foundation is run by Nehha’s mother Hemangi.

Notably, Hemangi, who is the Chief Empowerment Officer, launched the ‘after school programme’ for marginalised girl children to fill the gaps in basic fluency in English for students of government-run schools.

She said, “We did not want to be an academic subject tutorial organisation. Instead we wanted to provide a conducive environment where the parents are also involved. We wanted to instill in them confidence rather than focus on knowledge. We wanted to equip them to be on an equal footing rather than feeling deprived. And through them, we wanted the world to know that our shaktis are equipped to take on the world”.

“Sarvam Shakti's basic values are to bring about the importance of self worth in each girl child who unfortunately are born in underprivileged families,” she added.

Hemangi said that the organisation's pedagogy combines the rich Indian Culture of performing art, yoga and basic computer skills.

“In addition, each child is taught spoken English and has access through smart phones to vetted mentors and tutorial teachers,” she said.

According to Hemangi, the intricate steps of learning Bharatanatyam and Kathak had show tangible results. The confidence that students gather not only benefit their personality but also improves their scholastic records.

“In addition, Yoga has contributed enormously and helped them become more energetic. The computer course, that is a basic course at present, has added to their soft skills. Whereas the spoken english course not only makes students confident but also equips them to face the challenges in the job market," highlighted Hemangi.
