Rushabh Foundation

Rushabh Foundation is dedicated to empowering underprivileged communities through a comprehensive approach to holistic development. By focusing on education, health, sports, skill development, and environmental sustainability, the foundation seeks to foster self-reliance, build capacities, and promote social equity. Special emphasis is placed on supporting tribal populations, with sustainable practices integrated across all initiatives, including agriculture. The NGO aims to bridge disparities in education, health, and sports, ultimately enhancing the quality of life and opportunities for the individuals they serve.

Major Interventions:

Education: The Project is a pioneering initiative that addresses the critical educational challenges in tribal areas with high dropout rates and a severe lack of teachers. Through innovative programs like Offline Digital Classrooms, which provide state board syllabus content without internet dependency, the foundation helps improve academic performance while introducing students to digital technologies. It also fosters community engagement and student retention through a Sports Academy, Toy and Cycle Libraries, Teacher Training, Awareness Camps, and Financial Aid. Frequent parent orientation programs ensure continuity in children's education, promoting long-term success and reducing dropout rates.

Health initiatives include AI-based screening for early detection of breast cancer and diabetic retinopathy, Nutritional Health Programs for schoolchildren, and dental camps for tribal schools. The system uses advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze medical images for early signs of the conditions, enabling timely intervention. These efforts, along with sustainable agriculture programs, have improved healthcare access, boosted health awareness, and enhanced the well-being of both children and adults in underserved communities.

Community Engagement Program fosters active participation from community members, parents, and local leaders in project planning and implementation, promoting a sense of ownership and long-term sustainability. The initiative has introduced sustainable practices such as plastic-free village campaigns, water harvesting, and organic farming techniques for small farmers with fragmented land in tribal areas of Maharashtra. By transitioning from seasonal rice farming to year-round farming with water-efficient methods, local farmers have improved their incomes. The foundation's Skill Development Program also empowers youth with the tools needed to thrive in the evolving technological landscape.
