About The Resource Organization
Atma is an Accelerator for Education NGOs and Social Enterprises in India. Atma was founded in 2007 to support and strengthen education organizations. We believe that these organizations can lead the way in reforming education. However, faced with a severe lack of financial and human resources, they are unable to realize their true potential. In this context, Atma supports NGOs in their capacity building journey across nine organization development areas. It currently operates across India.Wesbite: https://atma.org.in/

Testimonials
Siddhi Kalbhor, PRAYOG
“I got a lot of clarity on the stages of forming a Logic Model. My key learning is that it is always good to begin a new project with a Logic Model to brainstorm and reflect on it deeply. It provides a good framework as the model can keep on evolving as we proceed with the implementation.”
Ambreen Bashir, JKASW
“I am in this sector from past more than 15 years and have been developing Logical Model Framework for some projects. But it used to be more generic and illegible. After the two-day workshop with the Atma team, I could develop the Logical Model document for my WIPRO project and that has been well appreciated. The structure and the content are legible and well-articulated. Even our field functionaries could comprehend it well. I personally thank Aishwarya Menon from Atma, who even after the workshop had follow up sessions with us to further support us to modify the Logical Model strategy document. In the future, I would love to be a part of enhancing my capacity through such initiatives. Thanks a lot, to WIPRO team for giving us such opportunities to grow.”
