About DEVISE
DEVISE aims to facilitate the inclusion of the children, from the underprivileged and marginalized sections of the society, into the larger arena of education by equipping them with an appropriate understanding of English. Their objective is to transcend the barriers of socio-economic inequalities within the education system, which in return would open up myriad avenues and opportunities for the students, to traverse and excel at.
In pursuance of their aim to provide inclusive education to all, we have launched a blog on Child Rights. It is a platform to discuss various issues related to child rights ranging from the Right to Education to the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015.
