Vision : “Young create better futures.”
Srusti was registered as an educational trust in 2001, by like minded people, who are committed to the education and development of economically disadvantaged children and youth from backward rural areas. For last 15 years, we have worked extensively with young people in schools and colleges, across Karnataka enabling young to spearhead educational change for themselves and their peers. Srushti Degree College, started in 2011, is an extension of nurturing this innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in the young.
We do this by enabling young to create better futures, in the context of their education. We have engaged the young in arts processes, to design open spaces for creating better futures, through dialogs with stakeholders and collective action for change. Srusti has worked in more than 500 backward rural villages of North Karnataka , on various education and developmental issues of young people, through long term projects spanning more than 5 years. Some of the projects are inclusive education in collaboration with SSA Karnataka, Meena –Girl child education with UNICEF and SSA, Karnataka, Right to Education Act, Karnataka, etc. Many of our initiatives have been scaled up at the state and national level and are recognized by the Education Dept. at the State level and MHRD at the national level and UNICEF. There is a constant focus on building sustainability in our programs, through involvement of the young people both within and outside the schools. Our work with the young people was recognized by UNESCO as a good intervention in South Asia, catering to learning and development needs of adolescents, in 2010.
