Through careful observation of students hailing from rural communities, we found that in order to help them overcome their fear we will need to make the English language as accessible to them as possible by relating it to activities that they like to engage in, like watching movies, etc.

TQI has taken its flagship program, Express to form a bridge for the students to overcome their communication barrier. By adapting innovative methods we are helping the students to overcome stage fear and express their thoughts openly. 

The idea of Express program is to be open to all sorts of people irrespective of whether they are in school, college or working. Initially the program was conducted to help the underprivileged students at colleges. As time progressed, the program has spread its wings across corporate, schools and colleges through the country.

 Ullas has created a unique self-enrichment module called SUMMIT. The Summit program comprises of a personality development module. The Summit Program is graded as Level 1 to Level 4, with Level 1 beginning for Class 9th and finishing with Level 4 for Class 12th.

The personality development classes are conducted based on specially crafted lesson plans that encompass Communication skills, confidence-building, memory skills, active team work, public speaking and leadership skills.

Talent Quest for India has been working with the Ullas trust in a predesigned module to help the students of the government school students to develop a “Can do” spirit and explore the vastness of acquiring wisdom. Each Level is subdivided into 5 days which are conducted by the TQI volunteers at various districts of Tamil Nadu.  It has been TQI’s endeavor to guide the school’s students for the long term. Hence, to keep it sustainable we not only focus on the current batch of 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th students, but rather engage the new students who enter 9th standard.

This festival is celebrated in the 1st week of October every year since 2014. The fundamental reason for which TQI celebrates DaanUtsavis for all our team members to go back to their roots in their villages and connect with their family and friends to conduct any social activity.The festival is approached in a highly focused manner with a proper organization structure yet retaining the core “one-family values” of TQI.

Events range from simple tree plantation to massive clean up to huge talent appreciation and educational workshops. The most unique feature of the way we celebrate it is that many of volunteers’ family are actively involved in celebrating the festival with us. 

TQI has partnered with the CSR initiative KPIT Technologies, Bangalore to take their flagship program Chhote Scientists to government schools. 

The goal of Chhote Scientists program is to bring science from fancy world to reality. It is achieved by making the kids do hands-on science experiments to observe and understand the science around them. The experiments are made out of materials that are found and used in day to day life, such as cups,bottles, glasses, stationary etc., which gives rebirth to used materials in the name of recycling. 

The program facilitates the students of class 7, 8 and 9 and provides them an opportunity to understand science through common sense. It helps them to take theories in their minds with logical reasoning than taking them as mere faith. By constantly questioning their understanding of a concept, TQI help them in strengthening their depth in the concept and enhancing their thinking capability. 

Currently TQI is implementing Chhote scientists at schools in and around Mysuru through our volunteers from different neighborhood colleges.

Taking the inspiration from Mysuru we have started this science program in TamilNadu named Kanaa (Dream)
