PRATHAM is the largest non-governmental community service organization working to provide education to the underprivileged children of India. PRATHAM was established in 1994 to provide education to the Mumbai slum children. DAIS associated with PRATHAM in 2005 with the aim of creating awareness about children’ needs and the kind of work that NGOs engage in.
Later this developed into regular visits to PRATHAM Dharavi centre with the idea of contributing to its Educational cause -- teaching English, Maths andĀ Science, playing games, to help kidsĀ with their school works.
