The program is supported by Ferrari and Save The Children with an aim of providing education opportunities for children from financially and socially weaker backgrounds. It is active in three states of India, namely Delhi, Jharkhand and Odisha. Save the children advocates that the intention articulated in Section 11 of the RTE (2009) to provide preschool education be reformed as not just an endeavour but as the right of every child . This program is working to strengthen early year learning experience of young children by intervening in Anganwadi centres and MCD schools in Delhi.

The specific project objectives are as follows:

Increase access to a child-friendly learning environment in state run preschools (Anganwadi centre) and ensure their smooth transition to primary school.
Anganwadi workers and early grade school teachers start practising child centric and activity based classroom transition processes.
Generate evidence to identify gaps existing in programmes and advocate for filling the identified gaps.

The organization, through this project will target 200 Anganwadi Centres and 25 Government Schools in North and North West districts in Delhi till December 2019.The project’s proposed intervention will be carried out in collaboration with Integrated Child Development scheme that comes under the Department of Women Child Development and Education Department and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in Delhi. Nav Srishti is working with 94 Anganwadis and 12 MCD schools of North-West Delhi which covers the areas of Vijay Vihar, Naharpur, Razapur, Jaipur Golden, Pal Colony and Rithala in Rohini. It is a lesser known fact that 90% of the brain development of an individual happens by the age of 6 years and thus, the main focus of the program is ensuring Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) by achieving 100% enrollment of children of the age group of 3 to 6 years in Anganwadis and their further admission in Primary schools by the age of 8. The approach is to create child -friendly learning spaces, collaborate with Academia and building capacity of relevant stakeholders. The objective is to ensure school readiness which includes ready children, ready families, ready schools and ready system, and thus achieving the overall development of children even from the most marginalized communities.
