Ram Singh authored a document about establishing an educational center in Maharastra Nagar to address local educational concerns. An organization called Eektta Welfare Association collaborated with TISS to start a community learning center. They conducted data collection and community mobilization. Problems identified included economic deprivation, uneducated parents, and lack of environment conducive to education. The center's objectives were to minimize dropout rates, increase enrollment, and mainstream dropout children back into formal education. Measures taken included starting a free study center, a scholarship program, and mainstreaming dropout students. The process involved stakeholder meetings, obtaining space, hiring teachers, identifying children, and initiating the center and parents meetings.
