A 25 years story/journey of transformation
Project WHY, the flagship education & skill development program of Sri Ram Goburdhun Charitable Trust, celebrated its SILVER JUBILEE on 1st November 2025 at Brijbushan Munjal Vedic Kendra. Dr. Dinesh Tyagi, a retired IAS officer, was the chief guest. He congratulated the team for the phenomenal work and inspired the organisation to scale up its community based model of after school education program and encourage digital learning & entrepreneurship.
Ms Anouradha Bakshi, the founder & CEO dedicated her life to the cause of social transformation through education. Her journey which started on roadsides with 40 children in 2000 to impacting over 10000 lives through five community based centres was presented, celebrated and honoured. Two films on Anou’s life with Project WHY, made by Genesis Media Pvt Ltd and Enfancess Indiennes, were screened and well received.
The four alumni of Project WHY who made it to IIT were honoured. Adish & Asha Jain of USA rewarded them by sponsoring their education.
The captivating music and dance performance by 98 students showcasing 25 years of purpose, overcoming challenges, realising dreams and creating a sustainable future touched every heart. National Anthem by students of special section was the climax of compassion, courage & determination. All the major donors, sponsors, board and the committed team were felicitated in recognition of their contribution and support.

Project Why goes online!
The wait is over! On 22nd November, the inauguration of our digital studio, “Project WHY online” with the help of Adish and Asha Jain Foundation. It was very kind of them to offer us all the things we needed for our studio.
The online classes will allow us to give quality education across all our centres for our senior classes. Having classes online will allow our children to revise during exam time and also to remain in touch when they go to their village. This will also allow us to expand our reach as the classes are free and for anyone who may want to access them. We want every child from everywhere to get the benefit of education via this new mode of learning.
It was a very warm ribbon-cutting ceremony by our dear friend Mr. Xavier Ray, President of Enfances Indiennes. We want to thank him for making this opening even more special and memorable. So, please be part of our journey
