2. If poor child cannot come to school, School must go to him.
-Swami Vivekananda

3. • Inlate 1980s,children in rural&tribal India did not havemanyoptions of getting education. According to the census in 1981
only 38% boys & 25% girls inrural India between the age group of 6 to 10 years attended school. This is attributed to
several reasons, such as the lack of interest in education, economic barriers, socio-cultural reasons, gender biases and non-
availability of accessible schools as stated in the surveyof 1986.
• Rammurthi Committee Report playedan important role in strategizing and setting directions for Ekal Movement.

People's Movement for a New Education, not for a few but for all".
