Unlocking Potential, Creating Opportunities:
Changing Lives through Education
Who We Are?
Utkarsha in Sanskrit means “pulling upwards, abundance.” The Philosophy of Utkarsha is to teach children how to learn. The future jobs are for students “who know what to do with what they know” and not just what they know. We at Utkarsh stand by its values and we are committed to providing the best education to the disadvantaged, underprivileged & neglected children of society.
​
​Utkarsha School was started in 2018 in Kanabargi, on the outskirts of Belagavi with 101 medically challenged and underprivileged children. The aim of the school is to ensure a stigma and discrimination-free learning environment for these children. We have been providing education free of cost and along with these providing all the facilities such as uniforms, school stationery, mid-day meals and more facilities without charging a single rupee. Currently, the school has an enrolment of 1700+ underprivileged children within a span of 5 years.

Our Mission
Designing student-centric programs that nurture well-rounded learners, inspire a love for learning, and empower students to thrive at Utkarsha School and beyond.
Our Vision
To provide a holistic learning environment for medically challenged and underprivileged children, empowering them with the confidence and skills to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
Our Challenges
These children are first-generation learners who were out of school due to a lack of awareness among their parents and communities. Many were forced into begging, rag picking, and other unfair activities to survive. Bringing them into the education system has been challenging, especially as they come from the poorest communities and require completely free education. They also face significant social and cultural barriers that hinder their learning and overall progress.
Our Solution
The life-cycle approach of development starts with opening the doors of education for slum children, the underprivileged. So, Mahesh Foundation has started Utkarsha Learning Center to provide free education. They are first-generation learners and there is a need of the hour to bring awareness about education in their communities. This is possible when we educate these children. The school ensures quality and skill-based education to first-generation learners of underserved communities. Mahesh Foundation has its own premises and infrastructure facility as well as a good learning environment for 640+ children.
How We Work?

A Note from Principal
At Utkarsha, we are geared up to use the best instructional practices to support the first generation learners. Our teachers work hard towards teaching these children how to learn. Our goal is to ensure that every child is provided with a clean canvas to explore, make mistakes, learn and grow.
​
Our children need role models. You can support our children by visiting us and interacting with them and help our children to weave a dream.
