Education in India is in crisis.
And that is a crisis for India.

Some alarming facts* about the state of education in India:

• 1 in every 3 children out of school in the world is Indian
• 38% of Indians cannot read or write
• almost half of all school-going children in India drop out before reaching grade 5
• more than 1/3 of Indian high school graduates are considered to be unable to read fluently at seventh-grade level
• the number one fear of parents is: Poor education will leave my child unprepared to face future challenges

For the world's largest democracy, an uneducated populace is an invitation to economic, civil, political, and national disaster.

India's war against poverty, over-population, exploitation of women and children, disease, crime, and many other social ills will be won or lost on the educational front.

The stark reality is: Without a sound education for India's children, She will remain locked in a cycle of regression and hopelessness.

A child's lack of access to quality education
is not just a child in crisis, a family in crisis,
a community in crisis, or a nation in crisis -
it is a future in crisis.

"Education is one of the best investments a nation can make and is a necessary condition for reducing poverty. Countries that have achieved sustainable economic development first educated their girls and boys."
