The Lotus Rescue Free Community Schools Project is based on providing education and literacy at the grass-root levels. In this project, we have 15 free community schools with a total of 1000 students in Panpur, Denthia, Sunderbans, streets of Kolkata, Burdwan, Chanda, Bongaon, Tetulia, Khardah, Shyamnagar and Narayanpur. The children are given free education at the elementary level, nutrition meals thrice a day, and extra-curricular activities classes in yoga, music, art, dance, drama, kitchen gardening and craft. Regular free health check-ups are conducted and homework support is also provided to the students. This project aims to impart literacy and feed around 2000 impoverished children so that they all grow up to lead a decent quality of life and enjoy all the basic amenities and rights that they are entitled to but are deprived of.
