Five Shakti Verticals for Skills & Well-Being Training
SHAKTI SADHANA
Each movement in Indian classical dance reflects not only discipline but also longevity, impassioned hope, and loyalty toward one's art. Sadhana, as one of the 5 S’s of Sarvam Shakti, offers urban slum girls the chance to learn and master Indian Classical Dances such as Kathak, Bharatanatyam, and Kuchipudi. This is made possible with the guidance of professional teachers specialized in these art forms, providing all marginalized girls with an immersive experience of Indian Classical Dances.
​
Shakti Sadhana facilitates brain hemisphere coordination, enhances fine motor skills, improves balance, nurtures teamwork, emphasizes punctuality, promotes health and happiness, and sparks creativity among the Shaktis. This is achieved through world-class training that spans over a decade in a single dance form. Moreover, the Shaktis receive equal opportunities to showcase their talents on both national and international stages, effectively representing Indian Classical Dance culture and their unwavering devotion to its spirit.
Our Shaktis are imparted with the teachings of Indian Classical Dance, which helps them cherish their past, embrace their present as a precious gift, and illuminate the path for others to envision the gift of tomorrow through various dance expressions.
SHAKTI STRONG
The ultimate goal of human life is to attain peace. This path to inner peace is paved by the practice of Yoga.
The countless benefits of Yoga include improved focus, heightened emotional intelligence, discipline, enhanced physical health, better oxygen circulation in the body, and much more. It not only strengthens us physically but also mentally, which perfectly aligns with the essence of "Shakti Strong," the name we proudly bear. Recognizing the vital role Yoga and well-being play in people's lives, Shakti Strong focuses on the following areas:
​
We extend free Hatha Yoga training to underprivileged girls aged 8 to 16. These efforts are complemented by opportunities for rhythmic Yoga performances, both on the national and international stages. To nurture holistic growth, we conduct Social Emotional Learning classes, fostering the development of essential ethical values. Our curriculum also encompasses comprehensive training in the initial five limbs of Yoga Philosophy, along with the impartation of knowledge and insights from the ancient art of Yoga.
​
The impact of Shakti Strong on marginalized children has been remarkable, instilling strength and resilience. Our overarching vision is to make the benefits of Yoga accessible to every segment of society, especially among remote groups of children. Our dedicated endeavors remain unwavering in pursuit of this noble goal.
SHAKTI SPEAK
English Teaching Program
In an increasingly globalized world, English has become a essential skill for effective communication and opportunity. To effect real change on a global scale, communication of our thoughts and ideas to the entire world is imperative, and English serves as the medium for achieving this purpose.
​Our Shakti Speak program offers personalized English language training through one-on-one sessions, tailored to each student's individual needs. Since launching our new English Training Program (ETP) in Dec 2023, we've witnessed rapid improvements in our students' speaking skills. By shifting from group classes which we have started a decade ago to individualized class, we've been able to provide more focused attention and support to each child.
We conduct two weekly classes at our Gurugram Centre and arrange two online sessions for Gurugram and Vasant Kunj students to ensure consistent practice. Our dedicated team of volunteers works closely with students to enhance their vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Our program also includes a variety of activities, such as speech and debate competitions, and writing contests, to further enhance the children’s language abilities.
At Sarvam Shakti, we believe that no child should be held back by limited resources. Our mission is to empower each Shakti with the English proficiency needed to navigate and succeed in today’s dynamic world. Through our dedicated efforts, we're breaking down barriers and opening up a world of opportunities for these young girls.
SHAKTI SHIKSHA
Computer Teaching Program (CTP) and Remedial Academic Coaching (RAC)
As computer skills are crucial for technological, communicational, and societal progress, Shakti Shiksha recognizes the significance of ensuring their Shaktis possess a strong foundation in various aspects of computer applications through essential computer education.
Shakti Shiksha presents the Computer Teaching Program—an offline initiative that imparts fundamental computer skills (hardware and software) to the students at the center. These teachings occur at the Sarvam Shakti Gurgaon Centre in Haryana.
​
Shaktis have gained proficiency in essential computer tasks such as typing, web browsing, Microsoft Office applications, file management, email etiquette, and more.
Additionally, Shiksha offers dedicated support in core academic subjects like Hindi, Mathematics, and Science at the Sarvam Shakti Gurgaon Centre. Expert educators in their respective fields ensure comprehensive learning, allowing Shaktis ample time for self-study to facilitate personal growth. In doing so, Shakti Shiksha empowers its Shaktis to excel across various realms of computer application.
SHAKTI SANJEEVANI
Supplementary Nutrition Program
Along with academics and sports, nourishment is as much important to lead a healthy life. A proper nutritious diet involves an adequate number of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbs, and fats.
Shakti Sanjeevani provides healthy and nutritious food items and drinks to our Shaktis. We give anti-oxidant juice every day to children which is developed by our Chief Empowerment Officer and former athlete, Hemangi, with the assistance of our dear cook, Bina Di. This juice, named Shakti Elixir Juice, is made with more than 18 healthy and natural ingredients like Curry leaves, Amla, carrot, beetroot and many more.
Along with the juice we provide them chana, jaggery, and banana. As we know these food items are full of nutritional value. Chana is a good source of protein, jaggery helps in digestion, and banana as we all know is a supplier of energy. We promote healthy food and lifestyle wherever we go by using steel bottles instead of plastic, consuming less sugar and less oily food. Children can concentrate more and stay active if they have a healthy body. A healthy body is formed with a healthy diet and Shakti Sanjeevani provides this healthy diet so that our Shaktis can be at their full potential.
