Vishal Himalaya Foundation sponsors programs in schools for facilities improvement,
for teacher enrichment, and information technology. Grounds beautification, tree-planting, music education, etc. are other
aspects of this program. The Akola Teachers' Center is a place for teacher enrichment. Vocational Training for budding
carpenters is offered at Kalakaar Institute.
The Foundation funds mobile education programs - ChitraCar
is video-on-wheels, and PustaCar is a Library-on-wheels.
Our most extensive effort today is in building water
and sanitation infrastructure in villages.
