→A unique context for school education
Many children who go to government and government aided schools have been out of school and deprived of any learning experience for over 10 months now. The issue is not so much of the learning loss - with reference to what they are supposed to have learnt in schools - as it is of the deprivation at multiple levels that these children have had to face - deficiency in nutrition, loss of a safe space and the loss of an opportunity to have some semblance of normalcy in their childhood. While the more fortunate among the children have made the seamless movement into a new normal, the children from the more marginalized and vulnerable groups of society have received the short end of the stick. The Vidyagama that started and stopped due to public health concerns is now being revived and it is important to design a program for enabling these students to succeed.

=== An outline of the camp curriculum ===
The camp will combine elements of numeracy, literacy and basic life skills, with the overarching goal of getting students to become comfortable in the context of being in the school, with the various associated new routines, in terms of COVID preparedness. Addressing the questions and even anxieties children may have, especially in view id disruptions in their life out of school, will be an integral part of this camp. The theme stringing together all the activities will be one of enjoyable, relevant and meaningful learning, with activities designed for building successful learning experiences.
