Swashikshan has no formal membership process. Technically, all homeschoolers of Indian origin residing anywhere in the world and all homeschoolers on any nationality residing in India are members of the association. Parents of pre-school kids who have decided to homeschool their child are also welcome to join Swashikshan. It is assumed that if any member opts for schooling at any stage then he/she would inform other members about the decision and voluntarily opt out of online forums and egroups.
The members of the association interact through various channels, apart from one-to-one and group meets of local chapters.
The main channel of interaction for Swashikshan members is an online group on googlegroups. The link to the group is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/swashikshan. While sending a joining request to the group please specifiy you full name, location, name (optional) and ages of homeschooled children and since when you homeschooling. If you do not use a gmail ID then please mail your request to swashikshan+subscribe[at]googlegroups[dot]com along with relevant details or write to us at membership[at]homeschoolers[dot]in.
We also have a homeschoolers-only Facebook community (https://www.facebook.com/groups/indiahomeschoolers). It is closed group that provides an online space for homeschoolers where they can interact with each other. Another social network for homeschoolers is a ning community – http://indiahomeschoolers.ning.com. Please join there as well because many homeschoolers are non active or not present on Facebook.
Swashikshan website also has a facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/homeschoolers.in. Please ‘like’ the to follow whats going on!
Various online platform of Swashiskshan are restricted to homeschoolers alone but you are not a homeschooler and want to interact with homeschoolers, alternate schoolers, educationist… please join http://www.facebook.com/groups/indialearning.
If there is anything else that you would want to know please write to us at membership[at]homeschoolers[dot]in.
This is the beginning of a movement that all children have been waiting for! I’m one of them.
I am a firm believer that if a child have to attend school and then again go to tution teacher, the child does not enjoy childhood and is mostly not interested in learning. Any child has his own way of learning and unless the child does not harm anybody physically or emotionally the child should be allowed to explore his world. He has his own way of learning, many times much better than our’s. Every child is an unique personality with capacity, likes and dislikes, interest and moods. The parent or elder has to play the role of facilitator and resource provider and child can take his journey very well. If I can be of any help I am willing to give. I am from Mumbai and educational and management consultant.

HI,
My Son is 9 years old and is an archer. He has several national accolades at his age level to his credit. thinking of moving him to NIOS from CBSE after a year, to focus better on his Archery. At the same time, I also do not want him to miss the socialising skills and childhood enjoyment that a school gives a child. I wanted to know if there any Open School in Chennai, especially for children who have special talents and want to focus on that?
Will be grateful for any such information.
Dear Ma’am,
I have been highly inspired by your story as somewhere I too never agreed in the so called mass production the education system of today. I was very keen on home schooling my 7 yo son but had to give in to societal pressure also my own insecurities abt whether my decision would be right or wrong. Through this 1 year though he loves his school & teachers I dont see any personal growth in his learning graph…. wanted to get in touch with you for guidance. Hopeful to hear from you.
Please help.
Regards,
Liza
