Ankura\ an-ku-ra\ meaning ‘blossom’ or ‘sprout’ in Sanskrit symbolizes growth through nurture and transformation.

A set of like-minded people came together to start Ankura foundation, Bangalore in 2001. The foundation was started with an objective of working in the area of education, care and research for children by way of an innovative and alternate method of teaching to children who are normal, special and underprivileged.
