Our Journey
From a small community initiative to a recognized education reform organization
The Vision Behind VMPF
Vinayak has completed his MA in Elementary Education from Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). He is one of the co-founders of VMPF. He has worked in different organizations and has wide experiences of working with children.
He has worked in Jnana Prabodhini in Pune for 2 years and was involved in its project on science toys called 'Gyan Setu' and reached children to all the corners of India.
He wants to take the benefits that Gyan Setu projects delivered to other urban parts of India to his village and region at Kolhapur. So, he co-founded Vidyoday aka Vidyoday Muktangan Parivar Foundation (VMPF).
In Mumbai he has worked with Apni Shala Foundation and worked with children in their Life skills program.
