The document discusses the need for reforms in India's primary education system. It notes that many students do not complete primary school and lack basic reading and math skills. It proposes collaborating with NGOs to manage government primary schools, renovating school infrastructure to provide clean water, sanitation and modern teaching tools, training teachers in effective techniques, and preventing the diversion of teachers to non-educational tasks. Funding requirements and potential challenges are also outlined. The goal is to improve the quality of primary education and brighten students' futures.

INDIA, breathing as a FREE NATION
since 66 years, still isn’t categorized as
DEVELOPED .
EDUCATION SYSTEM is one of the
prime pillars of any developed country
and INDIA certainly lacks in that
aspect.
INDIAN PRIMARY LEVEL EDUCATION
scenario is both tragic and
excruciating.

3. 4
INDIAN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
URGES FOR A CHANGE…..
1.COLLABORATION WITH NGO’s
 They work for social cause, public welfare and are not
conventional for profit business.
 Way of handling an issue is much more effective than that of
government.
 Employment will increase on account of SHG’S formed by the
NGO’S in rural areas.
2.RENOVATED INFRASTRUCTURE
 Smart education installation, making education interesting.
 Hygienic environment.
 Proper drinking water and sanitation facilities, specially for girls.
3.SKILLED TEACHERS
 Should be given pre-training in modern teaching techniques.
 Should be able to provide a student friendly environment.
 Online selection procedure should be done.
4.OTHERS SOLUTIONS
 Separate staff for mid-day meal should be provided.
 Indulging teachers into governmental activities like Pulse Polio
Abhiyan and Stationing them at poll booths should be
prohibited.
 Creating child friendly panchayats.
 More powers and sufficient funds should be in the hands of
authority.

4. SOCIAL CAUSE
RELIABLE
SYSTEM
EFFECTIVE
MANAGEMENT
NOT PROFIT
ORIENTED
PEOPLE TRUST
THEM MORE
THAN GOVT.
 NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS
that primarily pursue wide social welfare
activities.
If NGO’S are given an opportunity to
manage govt. primary schools it will
definitely brighten the future of Indian
elementary education .
SATYA BHARTI GROUP is the best example
which accorded with Rajasthan Govt. to
raise 250 schools and their effort is
remarkable.

5. Hygienic
environment
Proper drinking
water and
sanitation facility
Electricity
connections
Co-curricular
activities
Smart
education
In a survey ,59% schools had no
drinking water and 89% didn’t had
toilets. Also several govt . Schools are
without electricity connections.
Govt. Schools lack in hygienic
environment and interactive
re-creational facilities.
If smart education is followed in
primary schools it will create an interest
in young minds and will draw them to
classes. Also it will be easy learning for
children if audio-visual aids are used
during studies.

6.  Despite of good
selection criteria
primary school teachers
lack in knowledge and
efficiency.
 It’s a leak in Indian
elementary education
and requires
improvement.

7.  Teachers should not be indulged into other govt.
activities like “PULSE POLIO ABHIYAN” and
“STATIONING AT POLL BOOTHS “ during elections.
 Separate staff for mid day meal.
 Principal should be given complete authority and
decision making powers along with sufficient funds.
 Govt. should pay attention and keep a check upon
applications by govt. schools concerning their
requirements.

SMART EDUCATION:
 Rs 30,000 (projector, screen and a notebook) per setup.
 With 13 lakhs schools, Rs 390 crores.
NOTE: It will have to be installed just once with low maintenance cost per
annum.
According to a survey
concerning primary education,
 Budget sanctioned:
Rs 617.5 million crores for
around 13 lakh schools.
 Rs 4.75 lakhs for each
school per annum.
 As per our proposal it
reduces to Rs 3.30 lakhs.
 Saving Rs 1.45 lakhs per
school, we can salvage
Rs 188.5 million crores
annually.
