COLLABORATION WITH THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
PROJECT RIPPLE
Empowering Students, Strengthening Education
Project Ripple was started in 2019 with a focus on strengthening government schools through a comprehensive and student-centric approach. Supported by Oceaneering International Services Ltd., the initiative enhances both infrastructure and academic quality across selected schools in Punjab, Haryana and Maharashtra.
The programme addresses critical educational gaps by integrating infrastructure development, academic handholding, digital learning, teacher training, life skills education, and co-curricular engagement. It aims to improve learning outcomes while ensuring the holistic development of students. Another school at Khanpur Khurd Village in Haryana is being supported since 2024 for direct academic intervention supported by Jhajjar Power Limited (JPL). The programme focuses on creating a conducive learning environment that nurtures both academic progress and overall development.
Implemented in schools across Punjab (Kumbra, Mohali), Haryana (Jhajjar, Bargodam and Maranwala in Panchkula) and Maharashtra (Narayan Peth, Pune), the project actively works to reduce dropout rates and sustain student interest and enhance learning outcomes. Interactive teaching methods, career guidance, and congenial infrastructure create an inclusive environment, enabling students to build confidence and a strong academic foundation.

Project Parivartan
The gap in school education, especially in private facilities all over India, has been a major challenge in providing high-quality education to the less-privileged sections of society. Deepalaya, for many years, has been working in collaboration with the Governments of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab for their school intervention programmes. Enrollment, in general, may have gone up, but the ground reality was irregular attendance, dropping out of students (especially in the secondary grades) and poor learning achievements. This is where Deepalaya has marked its presence by having a formal agreement with the state governments. Project Parivartan in Mohali is one such active collaboration to provide quality education in Government Schools in Mohali, Punjab, under CSR support from AkzoNobel India Pvt. Ltd.
The Schools where the project was implemented are:
- Government High School, Balongi, SAS Nagar, Punjab
- Government High School, Phase 5, SAS Nagar, Punjab
- Government Middle School, Phase 7, SAS Nagar, Punjab
- Government Primary School, Phase 5, Punjab
- Government High School Kumbra, Sec 68, Mohali
Total students: 457
LIfe skill beneficiaries: 530
