2. After everything that government is providing, free education , free meals, establishment
of good academic environment
Why the rural sector is still illiterate and poor?
Half of the people are not aware of
their rights and benefits which they
can avail.
The remaining half are denied
by the upper class.
There are over 50
organizations in India which
are working towards
promoting education but
none of them have
managed to eradicate the
problem completely.
They have poor management
system. Flow of money is illegal
and improper.
A team of such people is required
who understand the gravity of the
problem. This young generation,
though poor, is a part of the future
of India.

3. Improvisation
in Academics
To make the
classes interesting
and more
educational, new
teaching methods
and more practical
work should be
added.
Promoting teaching
by solving
approach as rote
learning is not
efficient enough .
Providing
vocational training
and one-day
workshops in
several educational
and non-
educational fields.
Career counselling
for students to
bring them face to
face with the
world.
Initiation of a
friendly and
understanding
environment by the
teachers.
Interschool
activities will
increase
competition and
the level of
dedication among
the students.
Primary education in India
needs a fix
• The Program for International Student Assessment
(PISA) ranks India almost at the bottom of the pack
in terms of Math and English literacy.
• While the current policy, including a new legislation
for universal education, lays out a grand vision of
raising children’s education profile, it barely lays
emphasis on developing their skills to learn.
• Child above 7 years of age contribute to the literacy
rate of India.

4. Why children
don’t attend
schools?
Lack of awareness about the
benefits of obtaining
education.
Poor financial condition of
parents forces their children
to work and earn instead of
studying and enjoying.
Poor infrastructure and
improper sanitation forbid
them to study there.
No interesting activities.
Same old methods of
teaching seem boring to the
students.
The teacher’s don’t report
on time and are on leave half
of the time because there is
no one to conduct a proper
inspection.
*Unhealthy food provisions
also scare the parents.
*Recent cases of mid-day meals, which resulted in a number of deaths, proves how carelessly everything is
being handled.

5. Proposed Model
A committee
head will be
selected
based on
his/her
managing
skills.
Institutes will
be approached
with the idea
and volunteers
will be selected
for the cause.
Campaigning
in villages to
generate
interest of
villagers.
Invite a panel
of experienced
faculty to
recruit
committee
officials.
Importance of Primary Education
Encourage villagers to be a part of
this movement and get paid work.
Ensure a financially and medically
secure future.
Form Departments
Appoint department managers and
their subordinates from village.

DEPARTMENTS

7. Onedayworkshops
Mechanical work guidance
for boys
Stitching and other
important educational
classes for girls
General awareness and
safety measures for
everyone
Once in a while these one-day workshops must
be conducted to give the students knowledge
about other things than study.
If the students seem interested in any of the
courses then they can join classes and can
continue in these fields also.
This can also serve as a part time job which will
help them and their families financially.
It will increase their knowledge and
understanding of several other fields.
