NalandaWay Foundation

NalandaWay Foundation uses the arts — music, theatre, dance, film and media — to build confidence, learning and emotional well-being in children from India's most disadvantaged communities. Its projects bring storytelling and art into anganwadis and government classrooms for foundational literacy and numeracy, support adolescent girls through the years when many are pulled out of school, and run children's choirs in Chennai and Delhi.

NalandaWay Foundation reports the following, on its own site:

• GutarGoo programme impacted 1,056 children aged 3-6 and 811 children aged 0-3 across 36 Anganwadi centres in 2024-25
