Programmes
AEEP
Alternative Elementary Education Program (AEEP) - Digantar’s philosophy is actualised through the AEEP that comprises running four schools in the immediate rural neighbourhood on the outskirts of Jaipur and associated activities. These schools are also part of the core agenda of developing and promoting an alternative system of elementary education.
TARU
The Academic Resource Unit (TARU) - TARU is the resource support wing of Digantar. The idea behind TARU emerged from the frequent demands from a variety of organisations for specific output based support. TARU undertakes research studies, need based training programmes, teacher education programmes, curriculum development, evaluation and documentation of Digantar’s own programmes.
