PROBLEM
India has made advances in primary school enrollment however regardless of an initially high rate of
enrollment, drop-out rates are very high. In India today, 4% of all children never start school, 58% don’t
complete primary schools, 90% don’t complete secondary school, and only 10% of children go on to college.
Jyoti Social has various educational awareness programs running across India under the umbrella of
Educate India Initiative. Educate India has been entrusted as a mission to lower the illiteracy rate, increase
health standards through educational awareness programs, encouraging and supporting education of
masses at the early stage lowering the dropout rates. The phase-I (validation) has been a success with
employed individuals from various sectors has been contributing to the programs and sponsorship of the
children education. The cost of sponsorship of one child per month is INR 500 which is widely accepted by
any working and employed individual.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
1. Develop a strategy to encourage, create awareness and support education of masses
a) Creating sustainable infrastructure for sponsorship of education for masses.
b) Develop a time tested methodology for mentorship of children under scholarship/sponsorships
c) Collaboration with various stakeholders of the society: Schools, NGO’s, Gov. Bodies and Corporates
d) Increase the conversion to secondary and high school enrollment
2. Create a revenue system for sustainability of the project
a) Individual support groups and donor base to be increased
b) Branding and sponsorship models to be developed

5
METHODOLOGY
1. Collaboration with primary and secondary schools
Team has conducted surveys in two cities (Delhi & Hyderabad) and in phase one has collaborated
with one primary school (Hyderabad) and one orphanage (Delhi)
a) Educational Seminars: Individuals from corporates volunteer their hours in educational seminars
and engagements.
b) Competitions and Health & Hygiene Awareness Program: National Oral Health and Hygiene
Awareness Program and summer health and hygiene programs are being conducted across
various locations. Various competitions such as essay writing and drawing & painting competitions
are being conducted across schools.
c) Interviewing and screening students who require sponsorship:
An initial list is obtained from school administration and mark sheets are record along with the family
background of a child. Following which interview is scheduled both with child and parents to
estimate the need and understand the capabilities of children.
Scholarship/Sponsorship are based on:
 Financial condition of the family (Daily Wage)
 Academic performance
 Extra-Curricular Talent: Sports, dancing, singing and painting
2. Mentorship Program
Each group of student (2-5) is allocated a mentor who tracks the academic performance and
provides the counselling to children and their parents. Team is also engaging with parents through
school.
A social innovation network is being conceptualized and is at pilot scale implementation where
individuals willing to contribute to the project will be engaged and provided updates about the
developments.

COORDINATION
The whole engagement is coordinated via school administration, Jyoti Social team members and
volunteers. Preliminarily survey is done to assess and identify the schools which has is providing quality
education at minimal cost to underprivileged citizens.
After identification team visits the school to check the viability and interact with the school administration
and students. The gathered data is analyzed and team decides to choose schools which is followed by
interview process.
Primary Survey: Prior to the indulgence our management and team conducted the primary survey
checking the viability of the project. In a period to two months (June-July 2014) we learnt a lot about the
lifestyle, habits, educational standards and problems that underprivileged children and their families are
facing to educate themselves (of low income class).
Primary survey and reporting was one of the main tool on which the whole project was designed.
Interview Process: Team individually interviews the prescreened students forwarded by the school
administration based on the economic condition. It takes almost 2-3 weeks to complete the interview and
screening process. Based on the data gathered team goes ahead with plan of sponsorship.

India. We also consulted teachers, academicians and our mentors.
Execution: The whole project report defines the project in details. From methodology adopted to
evaluation, finances and feedback.
EVALUATION
Response: We received full support with enthusiasm from the society and the engagement is under
successful implementation.
Effective, efficient and equitable use of financial and other resources: As expenditure for the sponsorship
per student is INR 300-500 sponsoring 20 is children in Phase I is within the capacity of the current
framework.
Recognition of actual changes and progress is appreciable.
Success factors: Economically challenged students are identified and school and society is appreciating
the efforts.
Need for improvement or where expected outcomes are unrealistic: Funding is lacking for next phase.
If properly funded Educate India by Jyoti Social Foundation will be able to reach 1000 students with a span
of 2-5 years
Validation for project staff and partners that desired outcomes are being achieved: Till date we meet
all our desired results with a small team
