In 2016, Bharti Foundation signed an MOU with Vasantrao Dempo Education and Research Foundation of Goa establishing a unique partnership of knowledge-sharing, mentorship and professional exchange.
Bharti Foundation, through its Satya Bharti Quality Support Model, provides mentorship, professional advice, and intellectual resources to DVG, a regional entity comprising a Public/Private partnership between the Dempo Foundation and the Government of Goa. Aimed at enhancing the educational environment, modus operandi and ethos of traditionally under-represented rural government schools through a CSR adoption programme, the DVG/Bharti Foundation mentorship relationship has seen good results and has been a great help in achieving DVG’s ambitious goals.
In a unique mentorship role, Bharti Foundation provides valuable professional advice to DVG, answering questions, suggesting references and solutions, sharing learning resources and offering full professional face-to-face support to DVG as it hones its programme in the rural Goan context. DVG adopted 2 rural schools for a three year period (2017-2020) Government High School at Curdi, Sanguem Taluka and Government High School at Dadachiwadi, Pernem Taluka.
DVG and the Government of Goa has signed a new MOU to adopt a vertically integrated school system (3 primaries, 1 High School) in Navelim, Bicholim Taluka 2020-2023. Bharti Foundation has extended its mentorship agreement with Dempo Vishwa Gramshala for another 2 years.
