Education

Education is the keystone of a nation’s socio-economic progress, and thus the most important investment for progress. Education has been the prime focus area of SRK Knowledge Foundation since its inception, that it utilises most of its resources in this sector.

Through the portfolio of education, SRK Knowledge Foundation strives to ‘enabling the future for all’, with the goal to create, nurture, and disseminate knowledge to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education to mould well-rounded 21st century citizens.

To permeate the mission across the masses, SRKKF not only organises several remedial education workshops targeted towards the rural segments, but also the urban strata through advanced academic programs, personality development, counselling and skill-based training activities to groom the young generation, boost their confidence and inculcate leadership abilities which in the long run will herald ‘Knowledge for All’.
