RFP for Implementation of Sports Activities
We are inviting all interested Agencies/ free lancers to express interest for Implementation of Sports Activities About Bharti Airtel Foundation
Bharti Airtel Foundation was set up in the year 2000 as the philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises. It implements and supports programs in primary, secondary and higher education. Since 2006, the flagship, Satya Bharti School Program has been providing free quality education to thousands of underprivileged children in 173 schools in rural India across five states, with a focus on the girl child. The impact of quality education has been widened by transferring the learning and good practices of this program to more than 3 lakh students studying in 800+ partnering government schools across 11 States/UTs, through Satya Bharti Quality Support Program (QSP), since 2013. Most of the processes under QSP were found to be pragmatic. Bharti Airtel Foundation was invited by several education officers at district and state level to scale up some of the initiatives through QSP At Scale. The Foundation has recently launched a new initiative, TheTeacherApp, one of the most innovative technology solution for teachers and educators in the country. In response to the government’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the Foundation initiated Satya Bharti Abhiyan from 2014 to 2021 which benefitted over 2 lakh beneficiaries by improving sanitation conditions in the districts of Punjab. The Foundation has been able to impact nearly 3 million children in a meaningful manner through its education programs this year. https://bhartifoundation.org/
1. Introduction
Since 2006, the flagship initiative of the Bharti Airtel Foundation, the Satya Bharti School Program, has been offering free quality education to thousands of underprivileged children across 164 schools in rural India, spanning four states. Currently, close to 37,000 students are enrolled in Satya Bharti Schools, 50% girls.
Beyond academic performance, Satya Bharti Schools emphasize holistic education through innovative activities within the school and community. These activities include experiential learning, project-based and activity-based approaches, art-integrated learning, story-based pedagogy, and the use of educational technology resources etc. Additionally, Sports activities contribute in building leadership, team work, pressure handling, commitment and coordination skills among students, thus preparing them for future.
In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 which advocates the integration of sports through a cross curricular pedagogical approach while utilizing physical activities to develop essential life skills. It envisions a future where fitness becomes a lifelong pursuit and cognitive abilities are enhanced through sports-integrated learning.
