We run several community and student development initiatives, including:
Through these efforts, Sugam continues to create meaningful impact, shaping confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals ready to contribute positively to society.
Sugam began in 2011, in the narrow lanes of Moti Vihar, Gurugram; home to thousands of migrant workers and children growing up without safety, guidance, or opportunity. Our founder, Monika Sharma, saw children scavenging from various shop’s waste, wandering streets, or drifting into harmful activities. Most received only one-day charity; biscuits, blankets, books but nothing that truly changed their lives.
Monika realised: Charity lasts a day. Education lasts a lifetime.
So she started with three children under a tree, a blackboard, and a promise to show up every day.
Three became eleven.
Eleven became twenty-five.
Twenty-five became fifty.
To bring consistency, she created routines, clean clothes, meals, safe play, joyful learning, craft work that earned dignity, and a space where parents felt their children, especially girls, were safe.
The tree could no longer hold their growing dreams.
Sugam moved from a tree to a room, to two rooms, and kept expanding as more children found stability, hope, and a future.
Today, that humble beginning has grown into the Sugam Learning Centre, serving 500+ first-generation learners from Nursery to Grade XII.
Sugam stands on one powerful belief Monika still carries:
Children don’t need one-day help—they need someone who shows up every day.
Today, Sugam has transformed into a vibrant educational institution that caters to the needs of over 520 students. Our core offerings include:
Quality Free Education: A holistic curriculum designed to nurture the intellectual, emotional, and social growth of children.
Safe Learning Environment: A permanent facility with 29 classrooms, a well-stocked library, and dedicated workshops for arts, music, and drama.
Essential Supplies: Free educational materials such as books, uniforms, bags, stationery, and financial support.
Nutritious Meals: Two wholesome meals daily to ensure physical and cognitive well-being.
Health Services: Regular health check-ups and counseling sessions for parents.
Extracurricular Activities: Educational trips, sports, and cultural programs promoting teamwork and creativity.
NIOS Board Examinations: Students enrolled in the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) with subject choices based on interests and capabilities.
Skill Development: Courses in computers, robotics, science lab work, driving, dance, and singing.
Our team includes educators, administrative staff, trained cooks, and support staff who work together to maintain a hygienic kitchen and provide nutritious meals. We also run a small science lab, computer lab, and a discovery lab for experiential learning.
We are engaged in several projects—Udaan, Prayas, Sarthi, and Sangarth—focused on community and student development.
Looking ahead, Sugam aims to expand its impact and transform the lives of students and their families. Our goals include:
