polar THE STORY
The Freshest Step in Our Journey – Polar
From the lush green fields along the state highway, a narrow lane leads to a quiet canal and a cluster of homes where the Shiksha Prayas banner warmly welcomes every visitor. Established on August 15, 2023, Polar is our youngest centre—created to support the learning needs of local school children who dream big despite limited resources. The excitement in every child’s eyes, the energy in every classroom, and the hope carried by every family reflect the heart of this centre. Polar stands as a growing space of opportunity, learning, and transformation for the community it serves.
About Polar centre
The Heart of Learning: Inside Our Polar Centre
Harpreet Singh and Lalit Raheja were the first to join the Polar Centre, and their dedication set its foundation. They brought in 30 children even before the centre officially began, sensing the community’s need for better educational opportunities and approaching the leadership with students, space, and teachers. Classes for Grades 6–8 started immediately, following the established roster of activities, and over time the centre grew in confidence and standards. In April 2025, Class 5 was added in response to parents’ requests to prepare children for Navodaya School, with Sheetal joining Mamta, Harpreet, and Lalit to strengthen the foundation in all subjects. Today, the Polar Centre continues to impress with its creativity, commitment, and enthusiasm for learning.
