Established in 2003 by Ritinjali, the Second Chance School is a ground-breaking residential education and skill development initiative. Catering to disadvantaged students from across the country, we aim to empower young adults aged 18-24 who missed their first chance at education.

Founded in 2005, Ritinjali initiated its NIOS Certified skilling program with a dedicated mission to integrate young individuals into the workforce. The program is designed to empower those from underprivileged communities, providing them with high-quality training for financial independence.

Ritinjali runs learning centres in Kusumpur Pahari, an urban slum in South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar Region, and the Ekta Camp in Vasant Kunj. The centres were established in 1995, and started off as bridge schools, offering education to out-of-school children aged 4 to 14, with the goal of preparing them for mainstream formal education. Currently, nearly all students from these centres have successfully integrated into government, public, or private schools.

Over time, Ritinjali’s Learning Centres have evolved into community hubs, extending their role beyond education to become focal points for community activities. This holistic approach reflects the organisation’s commitment to community development and engagement.

Ritinjali is actively engaged in organising relief efforts in collaboration with government agencies, particularly in the areas worst affected by various crises. The organisation has a history of supporting relief work during natural calamities, demonstrating a commitment to aiding communities in times of need.
