RFP for Solar Installation at Satya Bharti Schools

About Bharti Airtel Foundation 

The Bharti Airtel Foundation was established in the year 2000 as the philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises. Its  mission is to empower underprivileged children and youth in India to realize their full potential. The Foundation  focuses on providing holistic, quality education in rural areas, with a special emphasis on girl children. It collaborates  with premier institutions to support higher education programs. 

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 173 schools in rural India, spanning five states.  Currently, over 40,000 students are enrolled in Satya Bharti Schools, with 50% of them being 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, community campaigns and service initiatives contribute to building vocational skills among students,  preparing them for future employability.  

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/
