This document discusses education for all and initiatives to promote universal education access in India. It notes that illiteracy perpetuates poverty and health issues, while education provides opportunities. The goal of initiatives is to close the gap in education access between cities and rural villages to promote nationwide development. Several industrialists and organizations are supporting education programs, such as the Bharti Foundation's 236 schools serving over 30,000 students across five states. The "Teach India" campaign also aims to connect volunteers with underprivileged children. Enforcement of universal education policies could help transform India into a developed nation.

form of learning in which
the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs
and habits of a group of people are
transferred from one generation to the

9. GOAL
Education penetration is very good in cities
and very low in villages. There is a huge gap
that we need to fill else we will never be able
to become a developed country. Education
and schools in the village itself will create an
eco system that will make villages more
independent and people from villages will not
have to migrate to cities. This will reduce the
pressure on city infrastructure and there will
be all round development Every one, even
the private schools would benefit, as social
activities like these will help create good
branding for the schools in the cities which is
where they make money.
10. INITIATIVES

schools are being run at an annual
cost of Rs 28 crore. More than 30,000
students are now studying in Mittal’s
free English-medium schools in
Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar

12. “Teach India ”campaign which has been
initiated by Times of India group. Teach
India is a nation building initiative (or
social initiative) from the Times of India
that brings together children in need of
education and people who can contribute
a little time towards teaching them. It is
based on one simple principle: “If you
have the desire to teach, we will put you in
touch with underprivileged children who
are willing to learn.
13. If we all pledge to educate at least 1
person in our lifetime it will be enough
to help India rise from the status of a
developing nation to that of a
developed one.
