Mumbai: Undeterred by the lack of formal classes, a social enterprise called Rangeet has started a 15-day summer camp for underprivileged children in Jogeshwari East.The daily one-hour long program aims to bring life skills as well as entertaining education to the doorsteps of underprivileged communities. The camp is running from April 25 to May 12 and will involve 60 youth aged six to 16.The program is run in partnership with OILF (Omniactive Improving Lives Foundation), supported by Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative and Nirlon Limited, a press release issued on Tuesday said.“This initiative is rooted in Rangit’s Social Emotional and Ecological Intelligence (SEEK) curriculum, a play-based learning framework that uses stories, games, music and art to build empathy, resilience, critical thinking and environmental awareness.”TOI had reported in November 2025 how the curriculum was being integrated into BMC schools in the city.The press note summarizes, “Designed as a one-hour daily engagement, the Jogeshwari program is built on what we call the ‘ecology umbrella.’ It uses a playful approach of stories, games, arts and crafts to nurture knowledge, voice and agency.”“At the camp, children are learning about trees, mangroves and biodiversity, increasingly important topics in a coastal city like Mumbai that is vulnerable to floods. They are discovering the living world around them, from the trees they climb to the mangroves that protect their city, while laughing, questioning and creating together.”“Summer learning should be accessible to all children. There should be spaces where every child can explore, question, and connect with the world around them,” said Simran Moolchandani, co-founder and CEO of Rangeet.Moolchandani had previously helped create a live music platform called Blue Frog to support independent artists.The summer camp will culminate in a community gathering, where children will present their learning to their parents through a performance. Rangit plans to expand this model to more communities, as it “offers an exemplary, low-cost model for inclusive education in urban India.”
