CARE-VAN's CARE-VAN's commitments commitments

In-a-VAN…..To develop gainful employable quality skills, among the socio-economic backward Class of students, living in Mumbai’s slums & impoverished conditions, whose schools do not provide such facilities, by making skill-development resources available within their convenient neighborhood so that access is easy for them in terms of time, cost, energy saving.

PREMISE v/s VANPREMISE v/s VAN

Why not a Premise?Why not a Premise?

For a room to accommodate 17 persons the cost of owning a premise will be minimum Rs 50 lakhs or renting will be costly @ Rs 30,000 per month. Also, it will be inconvenient for the students in terms of cost, time & energy to & fro the fixed location, this could be discouraging for them to attend.

Why a Van?Why a Van?

The cost of a 17-seater Van is Rs 12 lakhs and can be mobile to move at various locations depending upon the slums indentified. Hence will be easily accessible to the students as the Van will be stationed in the respective neighborhood.
