It was founded in 2002 to provide free educational and vocational training to underprivileged children and youth. The primary motivation is to enable children from poor families to join the educational process rather than be left behind due to lack of documentation, lack of prior education, social isolation (especially for children of rural migrant workers) or financial constraints.
Shiksha initially adopted a government school, providing basic facilities to its students, such as potable water, mid-day meal, functioning toilets, school uniforms, extracurricular activities and additional teachers. Subsequently it started its own schools.
