Shikshamitra envisions a society where economics is guided by the concept of sufficiency and wants are limited. All work – manual and intellectual – is given equal respect. Humans live in harmony with nature, and creativity and diversity are encouraged. In this society, universal love and tolerance are actively practiced. Working to create an alternative model, Shikshamitra believes that childhood education must be in tune with this larger vision of society. We run an open learning centre and education resource center in Kolkata and look forward to sharing with you.

Art Exhibition in Santiniketan















--- FROM THE GROWING ARTWORKS OF
RAJA MOHAN DAS & NOOR ISLAM
ALCHA, SANTINIKETAN
11-12 MARCH, 2011

Raja Mohan Das from SHUKTARA and Noor Islam from SHIKSHAMITRA will be exhibiting their work at ALCHA in Santiniketan next weekend. Please come show your support -- and spread the word!

The seeds of this show were planted way back in September when the owner of Alcha, a small cafe and boutique in Santiniketan, came to see our Growing With Art Exhibition. Keya liked the feeling of Raja and Noor's work together and suggested that they organise an art exhibition at her cafe in early 2011. Raja and Noor have been 'growing' their art portfolios since then and have chosen some of their favorite pieces to appear in the show. Another happy outcome of this exhibition is that Noor and Raja have become steadfast friends and have been influencing and inspiring each other in their pursuit to find their own approach, their own art voice.
