Art Teacher

The Piramal Foundation is a Not-For-Profit organization that aims to create replicable solutions to some of our nation’s most pressing challenges. Our method is based on a belief that talented young people, challenged to address some of our country’s most common development issues, will find innovative solutions that are relevant, cost-effective, and applicable to the nation at large.

In line with Millennium Development Goals, Piramal Foundation is focused on universal primary education, reducing child mortality rates, improving maternal health, and improving access to safe drinking water. We currently work across 27 states, a lot of which is in partnership with the central and state governments. We have developed innovative approaches and programs in every vertical and built strong partnerships.

**Role Overview**:
The Bhagavad Gita says that you are the trustees of wealth; it is not yours, you must see that it is well used. The purpose of Piramal Foundation is ‘to do well and to do good’ and make a positive difference to the world around us. We do this through forging strategic partnerships with the government and other key players; and bringing innovative, customized solutions, as part of our mission to ensure equitable and quality Access for All to Health, Education, and Safe Drinking Water.

Building forward on its purpose, Piramal Foundation is planning to expand its educational services to people with diverse (special) needs by setting up the **Piramal Centre for Children with Special Needs**. We intend to work with people facing multiple challenges to be able to create larger impact. The strategic goals of the Piramal Centre are to strengthen the voice and autonomy of people with disabilities (individuals); build resilient inclusive communities (communities); build inclusive and sustainable local and national systems and services (systems); thereby ensuring that parents and/or guardians of ‘special persons’ know that, in their absence, their wards are safe and cared for.
