This activity led to a cooperative movement of migrant labourers in 1991. A group cons students, faculty, and social workers continued to teach kids of the members of the cooperative. Around 1994 some members of IIT com social workers felt the necessity of an independent forum to address the issue of education and welfare of underprivileged children. Thus began.

It is also attempting to develop an effective and meaningful academic and voca curriculum, educational materials and teaching kits for primary schools, training the teachers, and establishing alternative employment r no undue stress on academic excellence. Jagriti family consists of volunteers and workers from IIT students and faculty, school teachers children, and full-time social workers.
