​EDUCATION, RESEARCH, ARTS

Our vision

Our vision is an India and a world where girls and boys of all backgrounds can learn equally and excellently, leaders of their worlds, their lives rich with the arts. Since its inception in 1990, NIRMAN has been conducting research, building arts and environment programs, and enriching the lives of children, youth and their families.

NIRMAN runs a research centre, an innovative children's school, and projects in the arts. We work in both the city and village, with people of all ages and backgrounds, in actively environmentally-conscious ways.

We believe in intellectual and academic work coupled with practical work on the ground.
