programme to strengthen School Management
and Development Committees; Kusuma
Fellowship programmes in Hardoi, Sambalpur,
Warangal and Uttarakhand; the construction
of a mid-day meal kitchen in Odisha to feed
100,000 children every day; and Kusuma
Resource Centres in Hardoi and Sambalpur
to offer educational resources and courses
for students, teachers and members of the
community.
The Trust collaborates with, and funds, the
Kusuma Foundation, our main partner in India.
This yearbook provides an overview of the
progress made in 2013-2014, including some
of the achievements. We intend to build on
these achievements as we continue to support
these programmes over the next few years.
Our work would not be possible without
the support of key government Ministries,
departments and officials at State and district
levels in India, partner organisations, Head
teachers and teachers, and community groups.
I would also like to thank the Trustees, staff
and advisers of the Kusuma Trust UK and the
Kusuma Foundation in India.
The Kusuma Trust UK believes that every
child and young person has the potential to
transform and improve their life, and should
have the opportunity to grow and develop
as active and productive citizens in their
communities. As an independent grant-making
organisation, we facilitate and increase access
to quality education and other life opportunities
for economically disadvantaged children and
young people. Through education we enable
young people to realise their potential and
break the inter-generational cycle of poverty.
We fund a range of programmes aligned
with our strategy in two focus districts -
Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh and Sambalpur in
Odisha. These include the Kusuma Schools
Partnership Initiative to implement the
government’s scheme, Rashtriya Madhyamik
Shiksha Abhiyan, in 50 schools; Udbhav, a
professional development programme for
teachers of English, Science and Mathematics
across both districts; a Science in Schools
programme to transform Science teaching
and learning; remedial teaching to enable

Message
from
Kusuma
Foundation
Mr. Pankaj Vinayak Sharma
Country Leader
Kusuma Foundation
Over the last year, Kusuma Foundation
initiated programmes aimed at improving the
quality of secondary education in our focus
States of Odisha and Uttar Pradesh in India.
The Kusuma Schools Partnership Initiative, a
whole school development programme, works
to identify and promote drivers of quality
education in 50 government and aided schools
in Hardoi and Sambalpur. The Kusuma team
implements the programme with teachers,
students, parents, governance boards and
communities. Improvements have been made
in libraries, laboratories, teaching and learning
processes and school governance. Schools
now pursue other improvements such as
generators to power labs, remedial teaching
for students, and substitute teachers to fi ll
teacher vacancies.
Kusuma Resource Centres in Hardoi and
Sambalpur serve about 300 schools and
provide access to teaching and learning
materials, computers and the internet for
students, teachers and community members.
Kusuma’s Udbhav programme supports
the continued professional development of
teachers leading to improvements in teaching
and learning processes and materials in
government secondary schools in Hardoi.
Udbhav will be expanded to Sambalpur in
2014-2015.
The Kusuma School and Teacher Awards
recognise the best performing teachers and
schools in Sambalpur and Hardoi, offering
a cash prize and supporting the professional
development of teachers. The Kusuma
Fellowship programmes in Odisha, Uttarakhand
and Andhra Pradesh have provided fi nancial
and mentoring support to 843 bright students
from poor families to pursue higher education
after secondary school. This will expand to
Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh in 2014-2015.
Kusuma supported the construction of a
Mid-Day Meal kitchen in Odisha that was
inaugurated by Hon. Chief Minister, Sri
Naveen Patnaik. It will feed 100,000 students
of Khurda and Cuttack districts every day at
full capacity.
The collective efforts of the Kusuma Foundation
and its partners, and guidance from the Board
of the Foundation and the Kusuma Trust UK
team are the cornerstone of our initial success
and we will continue to build upon this in the
coming years.

In 2013, the Kusuma Foundation established
a new programme, the Kusuma Schools
Partnership Initiative, working with 25
secondary schools in the district of Sambalpur
in Odisha and 25 secondary schools in the
district of Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh. The aim is
to raise student attainment, improve teaching
standards and enhance the school environment.
This five-year programme focuses on the
professional development of teachers, building
the capacity of Head teachers, providing
learning materials and resources for students,
and the construction and maintenance of
school facilities. The programme is funded by
the Kusuma Trust UK.
The programme aims to increase the transition
from primary to secondary school and the
completion of secondary schooling. It aims
to increase the number of students enrolled
in follow up education and the number of
eligible students in technical and vocational
training and employment. The programme also
intends to increase community participation
in schools and create model schools that the
State government will replicate and roll-out in
other districts.
In partnership with Kusuma, each school
developed a school improvement plan to
identify priorities to improve teaching and
learning. The priority interventions for the 50
schools are:
School Facilities
• Advocacy with District Education
authorities for completion of school
buildings
• Resources for playgrounds, including a
compound wall
• Clean and functional toilets for boys and
girls
• Dedicated science laboratory with science
equipment and consumables
• Electrical wiring and an authorised power
connection
• Safe drinking water
• Benches, chairs and other furniture for
students
• At least two computers in each school
• Libraries stocked with at least 100 books

Teaching
• Qualifi ed substitute teachers recruited to
fi ll vacancies
• Continuous professional development for
teachers
• Teachers using interactive teaching and
learning materials and methods
Learning
• Textbooks available for students
• Weekly library period scheduled
• Weekly science laboratory sessions
• Weekly computer classes for students
Governance
• Quarterly School Management and
Development Committee (SMDC)
meetings during the academic session
• SMDCs complete and implement
School Improvement Plans and deliver
improvements
Progress
The immediate priorities for schools are the
recruitment of teachers and improvements to
facilities. The shortage of teachers means large
class sizes and a diffi cult teaching and learning
environment. Toilets in disrepair, a lack of
desks and chairs in classrooms and the need
for boundary walls around schools are other
priorities cited by Head teachers and identifi ed
during detailed assessments of the schools.
Head teachers and SMDCs also ensure there
is active community involvement in schools.
In 2013-2014, Kusuma provided generators
to 29 schools, light bulbs and fans to 116
classrooms in 29 schools and 432 desks,
benches and carpets to 14 schools. Twenty
nine science laboratories were provided
equipment and consumables and 50 libraries
given books and furniture. A book bank was
set up in all 50 schools with 22,200 textbooks
for Classes 8 to 10. Forty one schools received
toilet consumables and safe drinking water
facilities were established in 23 schools.
Kusuma supports the quality of teaching
and learning in all 50 schools by assigning
volunteer teachers to fi ll teacher vacancies.
Volunteer teachers fi lled 450 teaching sessions
in Sambalpur and 1,110 sessions in Hardoi.
Advocacy with district and State government

for the appointment of teachers in sanctioned
posts, laboratory assistants and librarians is
another strand of the programme. Remedial
teaching for Mathematics and English was
delivered to 4,000 students in Sambalpur.
Teachers visited high performing schools and
training institutes to observe good teaching
practices. Quarterly teachers’ network
meetings and SMDC meetings were held in
both districts.

Kusuma Fellowship programmes support
meritorious students from poor families in
Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and
Uttarakhand to complete secondary school and
pursue higher and professional education.
Selected students from disadvantaged and
marginalised backgrounds are given a stipend
and academic support to complete their
secondary and higher education. Seminars are
organised for Fellows on a range of topics
such as career guidance, public speaking in
English, time management and healthy living.
One-to-one mentoring meetings for Fellows
provide pastoral care and the opportunity
to discuss academic and personal issues.
Visits to educational institutions and industry
are organised to provide Fellows with an
opportunity to learn more about higher
education and gain exposure to workplaces and
prospective employers.
The Kusuma Ratna Fellowship
Programme, implemented by Sambalpur
Integrated Development Institute in Odisha,
has supported 493 Fellows from five cohorts
since 2008.
Of the 493 Fellows in the programme in
2013-2014:
• 59 fellows have completed professional and
technical courses
• 30 fellows are employed after completion
of professional and technical courses
The 2013 results of Classes 10 and 12
board examinations show that Fellows have
performed better compared to their peers in
the district and State of Odisha. 95% of Fellows
passed examinations in 2013 and 67% of them
scored more than 60%. This is compared with
an average of 4% of students achieving results
higher than 60% in the district and 13% in the
State.
A new fellowship programme has been launched
in 2014-2015 in Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh.

The Udbhav programme supports the
professional development of Secondary
Science, Mathematics and English teachers of
Classes 9 and 10 in Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh
and Sambalpur in Odisha. The programme
aims to improve teacher classroom practices
through training, mentoring, school-based
support and provision of interactive teaching
and learning materials. The programme also
aims to improve the attainment of Classes 9
and 10 students.
In 2013-2014, the programme focused
on 92 government and government-aided
secondary schools in Hardoi and supported
the professional development of Secondary
Science and English teachers who taught
29,500 students in the district.
The programme developed a pedagogical
model, good teaching guide and teacher
performance standards. Ten English and 15
Science teaching and learning modules were
produced and distributed to teachers. Training
was provided on the materials to 230 English
teachers, 199 Science teachers and 170 Head
teachers. A secondary school readiness
programme was developed for students who
needed additional support to catch up with
the curriculum.
The programme set up a District Resource
Group of peer educators who were trained
to provide mentoring to teachers. The
programme received the support of the
District Inspector of Schools enabling teachers
to attend the training and District Resource
Group members to travel to schools for
mentoring.
In 2014-2015, Udbhav will expand to cover
the 25 schools in Sambalpur which are part
of the Kusuma Schools Partnership Initiative
(KSPI). In Hardoi, intensive support will be
offered to the 25 KSPI schools that are part
of the and less intensive support to another

In 2013, Kusuma funded the construction of
a centralised and fully mechanised kitchen to
deliver mid-day meals to 100,000 children
in 190 government schools in Odisha. This
modern kitchen and feeding programme is
implemented by The Akshaya Patra Foundation.
The Government of India’s Mid-Day Meal
Scheme is a national programme supplying
free lunches to children in schools to improve
their health and encourage them to attend
school. Funding from Kusuma supplements the
Government scheme to ensure children receive
a hygienically prepared, nutritious and hot meal
in school every day.
The construction of the kitchen was completed
in July 2014 and the kitchen has been fi tted with
new equipment including boilers, rice cleaning
machines, a cold storage, custom made utensils,
conveyer belts and hygienic packing and cleaning
facilities. Each day the kitchen cooks 5.5 tons
of rice, 3.5 tons of vegetables and 1.2 tons of
dal. The cooked food is then transported to
schools in custom designed vans that are heat
insulated, dust-free and have the ability to keep
the food fresh.
Trial feeding for 3,000 children took place on 25
June 2014 and the inauguration of the kitchen
took place on 8 July 2014 in the presence of Mr
Naveen Patnaik, the Chief Minister of Odisha.
From 31 July 2014, twenty vehicles transport
hot and nutritious meals from the centralised
kitchen to 45,000 children daily. The kitchen
will cook up to 60,000 meals from November
2014 and 100,000 meals from January 2015.

Science in Schools
In 2013, Kusuma supported a Science in
Schools project, implemented by Agranee Jana
Kalyan Anusthan and Eklayva, benefitting 4,500
students in 25 schools in Sambalpur, Odisha. The
aim of the project was to promote interest in,
and understanding of Science concepts through
practical experiments. 400 science kits were
given to schools to enable students to carry
out practical experiments. 50 Science teachers
were trained to deliver practical science
lessons using the kits. Science competitions, a
science exhibition and educational visits were
also organised for students.
An evaluation of the project showed that the
science examination pass rate in the 25 schools
increased from 64% in 2012 to 75% in 2013.
Five schools, five teachers and 25 students
were recognised for their high performance in
Science and awarded prizes. At the end of the
academic year, all 25 schools had functioning
science laboratories. Interest in science has
increased, with both teachers and students
reporting higher levels of motivation in classes.
Remedial Teaching
In partnership with Agranee Jana Kalyan
Anusthan, Kusuma supported remedial classes
before and after school for 4,000 students in
English and Mathematics in 25 government
schools in Sambalpur
50 teachers and 50 volunteer teachers were
trained and given supporting teaching and
learning materials. 21,000 sessions were
conducted during the academic year. A
Resource Group comprising of five Mathematics
and five English subject experts monitored the
remedial classes and provided onsite support
to the teachers.
In English, 49% of Class 8 students passed
annual examinations in 2014 compared with
20% in 2013. For Class 9 students, the pass
rate in English was 31% in 2014 compared
with 15% in 2013. 75 top performing students
were awarded prizes based on their academic
performance and attendance.

Kusuma Resource Centres were established
in Hardoi and Sambalpur in 2013. The
Kusuma Resource Centres are equipped with
educational and reference resources that
include books, audio-visual learning materials
and computers with internet facilities. The
Centres offer free access to teaching and
learning materials and provide training and
workshops for students, teachers, parents and
the wider community.
In 2013-2014, the Kusuma Resource Centres
in each district held workshops for teachers
on conducting science experiments using local
resources and on library management. The
Centres also hosted education and career
fairs for 680 students and 45 teachers from
30 schools and screened educational films for
teachers and students. 80 students completed
basic computer training courses and 125
students completed an English communication
course. 64 students participated in creative
writing workshops and 91 students participated
in practical science workshops.
The Kusuma Resource Centres also provided
a space for meetings on innovative teaching
practices, quarterly head teacher meetings,
mentoring and goal-setting workshops for
Fellows, as well as training for volunteer
teachers.
