Muktangan(an initiative of Paragon Charitable Trust),is an educational program that offers alternatives to orthodox educational practices in India.Designed to avoid many of the pitfalls of the mainstream educational system:the Muktangan educational model offers a sustainable example of low-cost, high-quality English-medium education,for the economically deprived sections of society.

Currently consisting of two balwadis (kindergarten) and a primary school (situated in municipal school buildings), Muktanagan is a community based education model, founded on a unique and innovative teacher - training program.

The Muktangan teacher-training program is an in-school integrated training facility that draws young women from the local community and gives them intensive training to become teachers.This community investment enables these women to have a career in teaching, instruction in the Muktangan pedagogy, and most importantly allows Muktangan schools to maintain a practical and favourable student -teacher ratio. The Muktangan Model has received widespread acclaim from educationalist, as a low-cost educational model, and is expanding each year with the Worli school, and outreach to implement the program in other NGOs.
