The PUKAR survey conducted on Mumbai’s Lallubhai compound, developed as part of MMRDA’s housing scheme for the impoverished, reveals a concerning reality for its 29,000 residents. Despite assurances of enhanced living conditions, the compound falls short on crucial development parameters. The relocation has adversely affected children’s schooling, leading to a significant dropout rate due to the absence of nearby schools. In response to this educational challenge, Door Step School intervened in 2009-10, focusing on addressing the educational needs of out-of-school children in the Hiranandani Akruti and Lallubhai Compound areas. This study has a three-fold objective: to assess and provide recent, reliable data on Door Step School’s interventions, understand the educational needs of the children, and identify existing alternative services to Door Step School. The study is organized into three parts, each aligned with its respective objective. The first objective employs simple random sampling with a sample universe of 800. Data collection for the second objective utilizes simple random sampling with a larger universe of 7200 samples, while the third objective employs a snowballing approach. The primary tool for data collection is an interview, comprising both open and closed-ended questions. Key findings from the study indicate that 92% of participants acknowledged benefiting from the Balwadi program. The program not only instilled a positive attitude toward learning among children but also addressed enrollment motivations, primarily driven by academic development and poor financial status. The major observed change due to the program was an improvement in study habits. English study classes demonstrated enhanced writing and reading skills, and beneficiaries of the computer center program exhibited improved computer skills.
