Stories that Inspire

Nutan Bal Shikshan Sangh (NBSS) was formed in 1926 by Padma Vibhushan Tarabai Modak, with the objective of introducing and implementing Pre-primary schooling in India. With this objective, Tarabai Modak took the bold and path breaking decision to set up NBSS at Kosbad Hill so that the rural and tribal children of that area could be benefited. Padmashree Anutai Wagh joined her in 1945. Both worked hard, tirelessly and endlessly in an atmosphere totally alien to them. After more than 90 years, NBSS still functions at Kosbad Hill, in Dahanu Taluka of Palghar district in Maharashtra, as a guiding institution in pre-primary & primary education. With a focus on providing education to the underprivileged rural and tribal children NBSS conducts various programs at their Kosbad Campus which is currently spread over 20 acres.

Kosbad Campus has erratic supply of electricity with prolonged periods of electrical outages. The problem gets aggravated during monsoons when electricity is not available for days. It is not economical for the trust to run Diesel Generators for backup supply. Teaching and the entire learning process gets hugely affected.

E1E1 is helping NBBS to set up a Solar Photovoltaic system to overcome this challenge. NBBS is seeking CSR funds for this project. See below the link to the proposal, which gives information in detail about the project.

Kindly contact Mr. Chandragupt Pavaskar, President NBSS to take further steps.
