ANK is a non-governmental and non-profit making organization (NGO) based and working in Delhi, NCR, rural areas of Bihar in India.
ANK is a Hindi word which means "Digit" in English. ANK was established by like-minded people to provide education to the underprivileged children, to build better lively hood opportunities for the rural and underprivileged urban youth, to enrich quality health services for adolescent girls and women.
The thought process behind ANK is that quality education is the only medium that can improve the living standards of the poor people. It is the most powerful tool, which can equip them to make informed and intelligent choices about their lives and future. ANK believes that education is the only weapon to fight poverty and truly empower the children who tomorrow will be the face of India. ANK seeks to achieve a better tomorrow through the medium of education and unleash the power of knowledge that is inaccessible to millions.
Since its establishment as a NGO in Delhi, ANK has grown both in scope and in geographical coverage. More than 20,000 children have benefited from our learning program for the out-of-school children. Through our health programs, we have touched the lives of more than 40000 underprivileged families. Our endeavour has been to increase the access of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) among the underprivileged children and youth.
Through our various skill development trainingprograms, we have provided employability to more than 7500 underprivileged youth in various sectors like Retail, Hospitality, IT firms, Hospitals, BPO, Electrical and Civil sectors.
