Education is often called the “great equalizer,” but for many children in the underprivileged sections of society, the soaring costs of private tutoring and “monetized education” create a barrier that feels impossible to climb.
At the Shanti Devi Mittal Foundation (SKETS Hope Centre), we believe that a child’s financial background should never dictate their potential. By providing high-quality, free coaching classes, we aren’t just teaching subjects—we are rewriting futures.

The Education Gap: A Quiet Crisis
In today’s competitive academic environment, classroom learning is often not enough. Most students rely on after-school coaching to bridge learning gaps and prepare for higher challenges. However, for families struggling to meet basic needs, the cost of these classes is a luxury they cannot afford. This creates a cycle where talented children fall behind simply because they lack the resources to keep up.
How Our Coaching Classes Make a Difference
Located in East Delhi, our foundation has built a sanctuary for learning that accommodates over 500 students. Our coaching program, specifically designed for students from Class III to VII, focuses on more than just grades:
- Bridging the Learning Gap: Many of our students come from environments where they receive little academic support at home. Our free coaching provides the personalized attention they need to master core subjects and stay on track with their school curriculum.
- Removing the “Monetary Factor”: As founded by Shri Suresh Mittal in memory of his mother, Smt. Shanti Devi, our mission is to remove the financial burden from education. By making these classes free, we ensure that the focus remains entirely on the child’s merit and curiosity.
- Building Confidence: Knowledge is the ultimate confidence booster. When a student understands a difficult math problem or masters a language skill, their self-esteem soars. This confidence translates into better performance in school and a more ambitious outlook on life.
- A Holistic Environment: Beyond academics, our center offers a gateway to vocational skills like computer training and stitching. This creates an atmosphere where children see education as a path to self-reliance and “monetizable skills.”
Real Stories, Real Change
The impact of these classes is visible in the smiles of our students and the relief in the eyes of their parents. We see children who once struggled to pass now aiming for the top of their class. We see young minds discovering a love for learning that was previously buried under the stress of survival. Through the SKETS Hope Centre, we are demonstrating how schools and coaching centers can act as “inspiration hubs” for community development.
Join the Transformation
The transformation of a single child’s life can uplift an entire family, and eventually, a community. At Shanti Devi Mittal Foundation, we are committed to continuing this journey, but we cannot do it alone. Whether through volunteering, spreading the word, or contributing to our mission, you can help us ensure that no child is left behind in the race for a better future.
Together, let’s make education accessible, equitable, and transformative.
