Unominds, a teacher training institute and women's empowerment centre in India, will expand its services to 25 villages. The institute will educate women by identifying and redefining appropriate teaching abilities, as well as assisting them in standardising early childhood education in these villages for the benefit of children.

Unominds, a teacher training institute and women's empowerment centre in India, will expand its services to 25 villages across the country. The institute will educate women by identifying and clarifying appropriate teaching abilities, as well as assisting them in standardising early childhood education in these villages for the benefit of children.

Mamta Surendra Prasad Thakur, CEO at Unominds said, “Our vision is to make education accessible to children. The lack of an age-appropriate curriculum and the right teaching skills is a major obstacle to the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and moral development of children. This has left several gaps in Early Childhood Care and Education despite efforts made by government bodies and NGOs. At Unominds, we aim to train thousands of preschool teachers this year. Children will receive a 360-degree development only when educators have the right skills, knowledge and passion for the profession.” 

In the villages, Unominds is collaborating with the local government. Its goal is to empower women and educate children by working together. Several scientific studies have revealed that the first five years of a child's life are significant for the development of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and moral skills, all of which are essential components of a sound foundation in children. Unominds' programme gives teachers a complete education that allows them to provide a world-class curriculum in a fun and innovative way.

Women are the primary caretakers, so Unominds trains them. It has set its sights on 25 villages and wants to expand its services in the future. Due to a scarcity of educators, a large number of youngsters are unable to receive a proper education.

The objective of Unominds is to train at least 10,000 respectable, licenced teachers in order to make education more accessible and inexpensive.

Nikhil Thakur, Managing Director at Unominds said, “Unominds is proactively going to the cities and villages of India to identify the gaps in early year foundation education. Our mission is to improve the educational establishment, develop local skills, empower and train women and educate children. This  mission is a mammoth undertaking and requires strong support from communities, corporates and authorities. We urge anyone who resonates with our vision to work with us and support us.”

In India, proper pre-school education is a dream that has yet to be realised. In addition to the deficits that already existed, the start of Covid-19 and the ensuing lockdowns dealt a major damage to the education sector. Children's growth is hampered by these disturbances, which is why Unominds is working to improve India's early year foundation education.
