Our Organisation - Pehchaan The Street School had its humble beginnings in 2015 as a volunteer group with only 5 volunteers and 10 students enrolled. It was made an NGO in 2018 and here is what Akash sir said about it, “Initially, we never believed in the idea of forming an NGO, and for 3 years were just an individual volunteer group, but because the number of students was increasing, convincing people to volunteer, encouraging students to join us and getting stationery for them became difficult. Hence, we got this organisation registered in 2018.
Fast forward to 2024, Pehchaan The Street School has celebrated its 9th anniversary! There are more than 1500 students enrolled and as many volunteers working across multiple media and fields. Now, there are 10 centres across the Delhi-NCR region and a vocational centre in Noida. And I am glad and proud to tell you that Pehchaan The Street School is getting more and more recognition day by day! We have about 40000+ followers on LinkedIn and about 33000+ followers on our Instagram page!
