Than Singh Ki Pathshala Foundation

From a Small Spark to a Growing Family of Learning

Than Singh Ki Pathshala began not as an organization but as a feeling — a small spark of kindness in the heart of one man, Mr. Than Singh, Head Constable in Delhi Police. It started under a tree near a police station in Delhi with just five children, a blackboard, and a belief that every child deserves the chance to learn.

With time, that small spark grew brighter. More children joined, volunteers too — and what began as a humble effort slowly turned into a strong community built on hope and learning.
