The Shiksha Sambal program, implemented by Hindustan Zinc, goes beyond providing additional teachers in government schools. It encompasses a comprehensive approach to education by offering various resources and opportunities to enhance the learning experience of students. Teaching materials are provided to supplement classroom instruction, while vocational sessions focusing on agriculture, animal husbandry, and electrical business provide practical knowledge and hands-on learning experiences.
To promote conceptual understanding, the program facilitates access to laboratories and libraries, enabling students to improve their learning abilities. Additionally, during the summer vacations, one-month-long summer camps are organized, emphasizing both intensive academic training and holistic development of the students.
During the winter break, the program places special emphasis on exam-oriented preparation, offering students practice materials and exams to enhance their exam performance. Shiksha Sambal was initiated in 2017 as an educational innovation by Hindustan Zinc, in collaboration with technical partner Vidya Bhavan. Its primary objective is to support academically talented students studying in government schools who often lack adequate guidance and resources to pursue higher education.
Under the program, subject-specific facilities are provided to students in grades 6 to 12 from Udaipur, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh, Bhilwara, Ajmer, and Pantnagar (Uttarakhand). These facilities are made available through the provision of additional teachers in schools located in the six districts within the company's jurisdiction.
