Once you are confirmed,then there is no risk in removing you from the organisation,the culture of the organisation is the same but the school leaders are very different from one another,they set their own culture in the school and that's how challenges occurs.Policies like CPP (child protection policy) is taken care of, teachers aren't allowed to hit or scold the students infront of anyone.
Dislikes
I don't like the norms which the leaders have created for their own school,it differs from school to school and that's how miscommunication starts.Its a nature of human life that they keep comparing their school with another Akanksha school.So be uniform in everything.
Work Details
I am no longer with them,it's been one month that I left the organisation.But overall my experience was superb,I got to learn a lot from them,the staff was very helpful and friendly.I worked here for almost 16 years.I miss my school but life has to go on.

Akanksha as an NGO is good,They treat us as a family member.Internal job position/recruitment is sent through a mail to everyone,if applicant from organization feels to apply then they go ahead with interview process.First priorities has been always provided to internal people and then it goes out.
Dislikes
If you see school wise,the leader has thier own perspective towards their school,then they don't see as a whole organization.They have different rule, different set up, different goals etc..favouritism game has been played here a lot.
Work Details
I am up to date as a person.I do my job sincerely and I am a deadline booster,so I don't have any personal conflicts with anyone.

Something which is good about the organisation is it working for a social cause and bringing in a change in lives of many.
Dislikes
There are ample of things to put down in this bucket. The discipline and respect towards each other in the premises is no where to be found. Neither from the children nor from the LT.
Despite of continuous reporting of certain issues they aren't taken into account leading the teacher to forcefully end up putting down the papers as no support is being created. This is leading to alot of mental stress and makes the teacher feel overwhelmed. After trying the level best, no appreciation is been given. A lot of biases and favouritism has been observed from the LT.
Be it the requesting the LT to support, personal grudges are reflected in the behaviours due to favouritism and biases.
Definitely, there's alot you can learn but at the cost of your mental peace. I think like having a safe and sound environment for children is necessary so it is for the teachers!...Read More

Principal is biased, no transperency. Principal dominates employees. She instigates good employees and is known favour of employees who don't do their job properly.
Do not think from children point of view.
Teachers are not B.ed. Few teachers spoil children for their own performance rating. Allow children to copy.

Policies are good but not implemented in every school of Akanksha... organisation is good
Dislikes
Depends on Reporting Manager, partiality, proper qualified PPL are not getting rewards...only spoken English is requirement... subject knowledge is not important... higher authorities don't check these factors what is going in the school...don't like to appoint outsider for sr position...only if you work there for longer times then kg teacher will be promoted as ASL or SL and under them working is tough for qualified and experienced teacher ... so think before you join.... other wise situation will be created that you have to leave by yourself......Read More

There is not even one thing I would say is good about Akanksha foundation. More than providing education to children they give stress and pressurize their employees.
Dislikes
No job security, You have be in good books to stay in this firm. stressed environment. No clarity with the performance feedback given. The owner has a great vision but his team is not interested in providing education to underprevilleged. Lot of Politics involved.
